Serenity: 7 Habits For More Peace In Your Life
Regardless of whether we stay home, work outside or inside the home, homeschool our kids or send them to school, moms are busy with lots of stress. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could find some pockets of serenity and peace in our lives?
Good news, Mom, you don’t have to try to find them! You can create serenity in your life with just a few simple habits. Some may be a little harder to implement than others, but I promise the effort is worth it. And it’s not an all or nothing situation — if you can manage to use these habits more often than you don’t, call it a win!
Creating a calming/soothing morning ritual
I don’t know about you, but my morning sets the mood for my entire day. If my morning doesn’t go well, the rest of the day is pretty much lost. Especially if you have small kids, a rough start to the day can make the rest of the day feel like you’re trying to catch up, even if things are going well.
That’s why I recommend creating a calming or soothing morning ritual. This doesn’t have to be some 2-hour ritual that you are willing to kill someone in order to stick to it. It should, however, be a sacred time that allows you to feel like you’re easing into your day gently. It should also be something that you can stick with more often than not.
