Time to Wrap it Up & Review Our Month of Creating Calm
Let’s take a quick walk down memory lane and browse through all the different topics we covered over the past 29 days. Here’s a quick rundown:
Keep an Eye Out for Clutter and Things That Stress You Out
No matter how ruthless we are about keeping our clutter in check, sometimes there are things that affect us more than others. These things are known as “triggers.” Something that you are particularly tempted to buy or a thing that annoys you greatly are examples of a trigger.
Minimize New Acquisitions Going Forward
Let’s return to the importance of ridding our lives of clutter in order to find calm. This idea truly cannot be overstated. Decluttering is the most important step to leading a less stressful life, as far as I’m concerned.
Use a Gratitude Journal to Practice Mindfulness
oday, I’d like to introduce you to the importance of gratitude. Feeling grateful about what you have in your life can lead to a tremendous number of other positive feelings. One tool to help you harness the power of gratitude is a journal.
When is the Last Time You Played?
We’re taught that hard work is equivalent to being a good, productive citizen. While a work ethic is important, it’s also crucial to understand that your brain needs to relax in order to function at its best.
Embrace the Silence
We live in a noisy world and often feel like we need some sort of background noise going. Total silence has become uncomfortable. Let’s talk about the benefits of spending time in silence and getting comfortable with it.
Cutting Out Distractions Promotes Calmness & Focus
Once we’re distracted, we get behind or we miss out on important moments and opportunities. It’s then that negative feelings like pressure, anxiety, sadness, and stress set in.
Plan Your Day the Night Before for a Calmer Day
Planning is an incredibly important component to this process. Planning ahead is an invaluable resource when it comes to helping you feel more in control of your time and of your life.
Use Exercise to Calm Your Mind
You already know that exercise is good for your body, and we’ve touched upon the ways it can help you to feel better, too. Getting physical has a lot of benefits for your mind, and I’d like to address that topic today.
The Dangers of Multi-tasking
In yesterday’s post, I shared with you why it’s better to concentrate on just one thing at work if you want to feel calmer. I gave you a few examples of the benefits of single-tasking.
Color & Music Can Help You Create a Calm & Soothing Space
We’ve talked a lot about the benefits of controlling your environment in order to reduce stress. Whether it’s reducing clutter or adding scents to the room, there are things you can do to make your immediate space more soothing.
Declutter Your Home to Foster Calmness
We’ve already talked about clutter and the ways it can stress you out, but the topic is definitely worth revisiting. This is particularly relevant when it comes to your home environment. As they say, your home is your sanctuary. It’s where you go to be alone or with the ones you love most and where you retire at the end of the day.
Calming Scents & Accessories You Need to Know About
A calming scent, some relaxing music, or a gadget to settle your nerves are simple to put into place, but they can make a world of difference in how you feel. Here are some ideas to add to your stress-busting toolbox.
Stay Calm at Work by Focusing on One Project at a Time
This might seem like a good plan, but it’s not always as effective as you might expect it to be. The truth is, multi-tasking is terrible for your productivity.
A Good Morning Routine Can Set the Tone for a Calm Day
Mornings can be a hectic and rushed time. This is especially true when you’re responsible for getting others, like kids, ready for their day and out the door on time. Starting your day out feeling frazzled, cranky, and overwhelmed isn’t good for anyone.
