This month we will focus on relaxing and learning how to reduce the overwhelm. I know life can feel out of control and lonely, but it can get better. Once you learn how to make yourself a priority, also your stress levels will reduce, and the hard stuff will become easier to manage. Are you excited? I am excited for you. I personally have experienced this transformation, and it can be life changing, if you allow it. Let’s get this month started!!

The importance of this exercise is to find out what causes you stress and what brings you peace. The best way to do this is to meditate. Before you start I want you ask this question… Please show me what causes me stress and what brings me peace. what tools do I possess that will help me cultivate the peace during stressful times? Just put it out into the universe. After your meditation I want you to immediately journal. Don’t think about what you are writing the only thing that you need to remember is that question. Allow whatever comes out to flow. Do not correct your spelling or overthink what you write. Fill out this worksheet How does your energy feel before and after this exercise. You may be suprise how your answers change.
Now that you see how your energy feels it’s time to start to recognize how what calms youe spirit. What takes you out of that fight or flight mode? I want you to right a list of activities that you enjoy doing for yourself, and how they make you feel when you are doing them.

If your life doesn’t allow you to take a big break from your kiddos here are a few things that you can do from home. Give yourself 30 minutes a day, You can break that up into 10 minutes three times a day, 15 minutes twice a day, or take the entire 30 minutes if you are able. This is crucial to begin to reduce the overwhelm. Making yourself a priority is essential.
You can combine many of these together. The last one is Create a Daily Routine. Creating a routine around self care helps it become a habit, and and not a struggle.
For example if you choose to take a bath you can add some essential oils to the water, turn off your phone, put on a face mask and listen to a guided mediation. That is a form of self care.
You can choose something form this list or choose to do something else, just make sure to take time for yourself.
