People love to say “it’s about the journey, not the destination.” And that’s true. When you’re embarking on any sort of improvement project — like the home improvement we do during the January Cure — you should focus on your progress, and don’t let perfection or completion get in the way of celebrating the steps you make along your journey. But you’re allowed to celebrate the destination, too.

Day 20: Relax and enjoy your home!

Whether you joined the Cure on Jan. 4 or just yesterday, you’ve done amazing work this month, inching towards a home that looks and feels better than before. So your final assignment is to enjoy it. Pour a drink, run a bath, or play some music. Create some good vibes and relish in your space and what you’ve done this month. Even if you haven’t done everything, you’ve done something — and that’s enough.

If you want to keep the inspiration and community coming all year long, here are some ideas:

That’s it for the January Cure! I hope you have a safe and peaceful year. Feel free to say hi on Instagram if you need some help from here.
