Do you need a few simple actions to fill your day with peace? I certainly do. Daily peace is like that elusive goal that we all wish for, but how do we make it materialize? I love the concept of a few habits, easy to work into my routine, entirely wholesome for body and soul, and nurturing to those around me. The busy flashes of time, like this summer which is now slipping through my fingers as autumn becomes more apparent in those crisp breezes, are full of life and full of action, but in the midst of it I can feel a little lost. We can all become a little lost, as demands increase and spare time disappears. It is possible to take just a few minutes of each day and refresh the soul. Here are just a few ideas to use as your springboard in developing habits which promote daily peace in your life. Ten simple actions for daily peace: Pray in the morning. Even if nothing else on that long and hefty To-Do List is done in the morning, this one will change your day for the better. It always greatly affects our day when I can make a few moments in the morning to center, be thankful for this new day, and pray for help with what I need to do during this day. Have a look on my Resources page for beautiful prayers and meditations. Connect with loved ones. Take an intentional moment to connect with each person who is important in your life. Read your little one a story. Call your mother. Hold your husband’s hand and tell him something that will make him happy. These small moments of giving just renew our spirit and expand our hearts. And if those around us are happy, we tend to feel happy. The spark of joy is passed on and we have done another valuable action, which fulfills our inmost yearning for meaning in our lives. Admire the beauty around you. Even when my world feels tumultuous and out of control, if I can find and connect with beauty in something small, near to me, I feel grounded. The smallest beautiful piece of this world can just anchor you back to what is important. It can remind us that everything will be okay. On a day already being filled with peace, the small discovery of beauty in something…

Sunlight, that feeling after a restful sleep, the chill of early morning air as you wake up. Every new morning presents its beauty and its challenges. In perfect honesty, one morning every few weeks I spring out of bed on rays of sunshine, energized and ready for the day. On all other mornings, getting myself started could be likened to getting an elephant- a grumpy elephant- onto a hoverboard for a twelve-day journey through the clouds. On most mornings, as you see, I need some help to get up and going and to prepare for the day. Since beginning the day well is the key to creating a day… then a week… then, even a year, full of cherished memories and valuable moments, some simple habits are needed. Just a few peaceful morning habits set the foundation for a grace-filled day, and I try to practice them, and they truly help. I can always tell the difference when I didn’t begin my day well. So many things in life are out of our hands, the morning routine is a gem to nourish, and it will nourish us back. So, to be tougher than the inevitable rice crispies cemented to the floor, quicker than the baby set on spilling the hottest of coffees, and calmer than the mountain-top yogi I saw on Pinterest the other day, here are a few suggestions to build grace into your morning routine. Five ideas for grace in the earliest of those small moments: Pray a prayer in a very simple form – pure and in pajamas, connecting the day to Heaven. One of the best: “A pure heart create for me, O God, and put a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.” -Psalm 51 What do you need today? Maybe peace, maybe strength, maybe everything. Putting this into words and knowing you are never alone makes an imprint on the day, from its first early moments. Do some refreshing exercise – There’s a reason people like to get their sweat on bright and early, it is energizing! I prefer the steady burn of yoga to wake all my muscles up.
