Illuminate your home with natural light and soft light.
Bright white lights can add strain on your eyes and cause tension headaches. Try to welcome in as much natural light as possible. Don’t cover your windows with dark drapery or heavy blinds. Light, airy curtains or fabric shades are more pleasing to the eyes and don’t block out the natural light. The more physically relaxed you are, the easier it is to reduce your anxiety.
