Often as a mom with many hats I feel like I am pulled in so many directions at once, that at times it seems to be overwhelming. I'm thankful for the rest breaks that sometimes comes unexpectedly like a snow day or when well laid out plans seem to go awry. Once I get over my initial disappointment I can usually find the silver lining when things don't go as expected.
Usually at the beginning of the year these quiet times give me ample time to pause, reflect, and be thankful. It also provides an opportunity to determine whether or not I am devoting enough time to the things I love. This special time is so important in helping me live a life that's meaningful to me. Journaling also helps me to unlock and narrow down the core things that inspire me. Determining the things that are meaningful to me in this season of my life is the first step. Using a calendar to schedule times for myself as well as setting alarms to remind me of what is important throughout the day is extremely helpful. Making sure to set time aside helps me find pleasure in doing things that bring me joy . Sometimes it is just for five minutes but it is key to staying healthy and joyful. These simple moments doing things that I love allows me to feel inspired, creative, and more loving and energized.
