9 Ways To Find A Moment Of Peace
In A Hectic Day
If your shoulders just won’t relax, these tips to find moments of peace in a hectic day will serve you well. I want you to feel less hectic, more happy. I want you to find moments of peace, not moments of p**p!
- Start the day off smart! Be conscious of the thoughts you are letting yourself focus on. Ask yourself what you have been most concerned with lately. If you pray, let these things go in prayer and ask for help.
- Make time for yourself to have a moment (or more) of silence before you take on any chores or responsibilities. Use this time to gather your thoughts and be thankful for all the little and big things you’ve been given. Then, start your day xo
- Give yourself more than enough time. It’s more common to book things back to back in your daily calendar. This is unrealistic. The unexpected happens daily so plan for it and watch your stress levels decrease!
- Ask for help. When you’re in a pinch or need time for yourself, asking for help will help! You’re not weak or a lesser person when you reach out. It may suprise you to find out that many other women and men out there need help just as much as you do. We are not meant to live our lives in singular bubbles, fending for ourselves. Life is meant to be shared in community with others because we can’t run the race alone!
- Sit down and make eye contact with your kids and spouse. Touch the people that you love with a warm hug or kiss. There is power in this type of connection. If your kids haven’t been listening, sometimes eye contact and a loving touch is all that’s needed to help them really take note.
- Connect with a cashier or family member instead of rushing on to your next task like the world will end if you stop for a short conversation.
- Remind yourself that you’re more capable than you feel
- Breath deeply (more than once)
- Carry snacks with you. Sometimes your mood is simply “hangry” and you don’t have reserves on hand to feed the beast!
