In the Groove and Back to School
Written by Joanne on August 27, 2009 – -
It’s hard to believe that I’ve actually been looking forward to getting “back in the rhythm” of things and greeting the arrival of autumn. The randomity of summer holidays brings with it a certain unpredictable chaotic beat to life that I find exhilarating, at first.
After a few weeks of it, though, I feel restless and anxious to get back into a groove of getting things done and feeling on track.
This restless feeling is a reminder for me of the importance that rhythms serve in our lives.
Just like the sun rises and sets and the tide moves in and out, we thrive with somewhat of a rhythmic predictability in life.
What rhythms guide you and your family?
What about yourself and your personal rhythms?
What little morning rituals can you establish for yourself to help you feel your best?
“I don’t have enough time” rolls off the tongues a few more times than we’d like to admit. One of the solutions to not being able to get it all done in a day, is efficient planning and organization. Even just 10 minutes of de-cluttering every morning will bring HUGE changes by the end of the month. 10 minutes spent reading, meditating, writing or cuddling your niblets can make a huge difference in how you feel about your productivity in these areas of your life.

Some people keep their squirt bottle under the sink and every morning do a quick spritz and blitz of the bathroom sink to keep it looking great every day! What a great way to avoid having a messy bathroom, by handling it every morning in a jiffy.
If you find that you’re having trouble making time for exercise, reading, research and organizing your clutter, find a way to include 10-15 minutes of these tasks into your daily or weekly routine and you’ll be surprised what you manage to pull off.
Here’s to the ebb and flow of your beautiful life, my dear!

Until next time…
Dancing to the rhythm,
