[H1738]How To Use Themes

by Stephen Dolan, Ste

By choosing a theme to fit your personality, you can enhance the look of the bathroom and provide a haven for you and your family. Therefore, bathroom themes for decorating should take into consideration the mood you want it to provide you every time you step into it. You can bring in the look of the rest of the house for coordination purposes, or you can come up with a bathroom decorating theme that is totally unique from the rest of your home's style.

The Contemporary Style

The contemporary look can be a jumping off point for many unique and wonderful bathroom themes. Contemporary bathroom decorating involves wood finishes, clean lines, simplicity, subtle sophistication, texture and other modern accents. The most distinctive element of a contemporary theme is line. The bare space is as important as the areas filled with objects; less is more. Many contemporary bathrooms include natural stones, tiles and wood to provide a calming feel. Furniture pieces should be simple and uncluttered. When you choose a contemporary theme, you can rely on simple fixtures and accessories that result in a dramatic overall look for the bathroom.

Create a Calming Sanctuary

If you want the bathroom to be a calming place, the color scheme is of primary importance. Lighter colors make the bathroom seem to have more space, and lighter colors can often improve a person's mood. Continue the calming theme by adding lavender scents to the bathroom in the form of decoration or various kinds of soap. Lavender has been traditionally used for relaxation and to relieve headaches. Use fabric accents like a low pile rug in a pale color, breezy drapes on the window, natural fiber floor mats or baskets.

Bring the Outdoors In

Take your sanctuary a step further and bring the outdoors indoors. Create an oasis by painting tall grasses around the bath tub to give the appearance of a pond or painting clouds on the ceiling. A fantasy garden theme should start with an earth-tone pallet and incorporate jewel colors in the form of fairies, flowers, dragonflies and butterflies. Use stencils or stamps also add the details. Be sure to bring in plenty of real or fake plants. Decorate with natural stones or crystals.

Hunt through some stores or catalogues to see what bathroom decorating themes might be readily available. There are any number of items available in any taste and with any theme a person may have in mind. Then let your imagination take off. Building on these ideas are sure to help anyone create the bathroom of their dreams.

I'd heard it a hundred thousand times, mostly from the creative, entrepreneurs and small business owners with Adult ADHD symptoms I work with on a regular basis.

"WAIT!" I interrupted. "How can you focus on so many things at one time? Multitasking without a common reason is NOT the answer."

"Oh, but I'm a really good multitasker!" he replied.

I took a deep breath. Sure--one of the strenghts of people with Adult ADHD is that they are good at multitasking. But in this case...if he was such a great multitasker, then why wasn't he achieving the level of success he wanted?

All successful people, including those with Adult ADHD symptoms, know this - FOCUS is the key to success. One thing at a time. One purpose at a time. Finish one and go on to the next. That kind of focus is almost impossible for someone with Adult ADHD, however.

Instead, we entrepreneurs with Adult ADHD work ourselves too hard and don't give ourselves the time or effort it takes to really be successful. So many people with Adult ADHD get just to the TIP of success and then WHAM! - fall right down the mountain, exhausted, convinced that the principles of success somehow aren't meant for them.

It's not fair.

And it doesn't have to be that way. If you're a creative person with Adult ADHD symptoms and have multiple irons in the fire, so to speak, multiple projects and things you're working on--you can gain great momentum and success with those projects IF you follow one simple rule.

This works for people with or without Adult ADHD, by the way.

Here's the secret--all of your projects and plans will work well ONLY if you have one overarching reason for doing them. You can do this in a big way by looking at all of your projects and considering "WHY" you do each of them.

For me, the practice of communication keeps me excited about talking with people, writing and networking. That's a big reason why I do certain projects, and keeps me motivated to follow-through enen though I have Adult ADHD.

Another method that I like to use is a theme-focused approach. People with Adult ADHD do well to have a theme for a year, for a month, a day and even for an hour. That keeps you focused on tasks that are congruent with the current theme.

For example, if your theme for the year is to increase your income by 50%, then all of your activities better have specific, money-making results. Place your theme word (or words) right there on your desk and look at it every day. If you ever get off track or wonder what to do next (classic ADHD symptom), look up at your theme and do what it says.

Simple, and VERY effective for entrepreneurs with Adult ADHD!

What will your theme be this year? Write it down right now and get going! And if you want to learn more about how to optimize your business model to work perfectly with Adult ADHD symptoms, see below!
