My evening routine
I wanted to take you behind the scenes of my evening routine (no makeup and yoga clothes approved:)) and show you my intimate part of life that helps me stay grounded and more peaceful.
My morning routine is always different. I have two small children who like to wake up in the morning at odd times so I cannot count on a specific routine. Most days, I get up few hours before they do and I drink coffee in bed while I read, pray or work. Whatever I feel inspired to do. Some days, I only make my bed and that’s one thing that I always do – no matter what happens.

My evening routine is different since I have more flexibility. It’s something both my husband and I do and I think it can be a powerful way to go to bed. Today, I share with you what I like to do most night before I go to bed.
Sometimes, I move the evening routine to my bedroom. This process of calming the nervous central system, going to bed relaxed and at peace helps me tremendously and helps me wake up refreshed and recharged.
To all of you out there who have small children or really hectic lives – I get that some days you just want to go to bed without brushing your teeth. And some days will be just that. But – if you can carve out even 5 minutes for yourself, I think that it can change your life for the better.

You have to find what works for you. I know the temptation is sometimes to go to bed watching TV but research is conclusive – this interrupts the sleep and doesn’t allow the body to prepare for restful period.
On the other hand, two of my favorite teachers: Neville Goddard and Wayne Dyer talked at length about choosing your last hours and minutes before bed carefully. They said that the subconscious mind likes to marinate in whatever you went to bed with, so try visualization or some food for the soul.
Join the crowd and be happy you did.

This constant striving and constant “not-enough” mess will be the deadly force for all of us. Some of us will get sick, others will let their lives go by without paying attention to the moments and quality people and some will make it to the very top and revel in their loneliness.

In case you haven’t noticed, we have the best productivity and time saving tools we have ever had and we have never been this busy, overwhelmed and anxious. What’s the answer? You have to resist the notion that you have to follow the herd
How painful moments can create meaningful change
If you look at how we all make decisions, you will notice that majority of our changes are a result of something uncomfortable or painful. So, painful moments create change but unfortunately, many of us focus on the pain and why it’s there in the first place.
