It was a rainy, cold, day outside; however, my house was filled with warmth, good food, and had everything in order. All our LifeWorx clients deserve to feel about their home like this every day, and we do our best to help them achieve this by providing premiere child care, elder care, nanny, and chef services. But you can do your part too — try to recharge your batteries at home and take a mini vacation. Here are some tips to help you achieve feeling centered and fulfilled:

Find a few hours a week to do what you love to rejuvenate. Watching your kids play soccer, a date night with your husband, or time with a friend doesn’t count. This is about doing things by yourself that recharge you, such as listening to music, taking a walk, doing yoga, or reading a good book. It might be as simple as taking some time to daydream and relax with some breathing exercises.

Reduce chatter by 50 percent. All of the stuff on television, radio, Facebook, Twitter, and e-mails is just chatter most of the time. All of these tools have value, but use them wisely — only watch, hear and use what you need; and make time for important one-on-one interactions with friends and family members.

Be in the moment. If you are always where you want to be and doing what you love, you will be in the moment and have a happy fulfilling day. Yet it’s so easy to get distracted, and we have to try to get better at being in the moment every day. If it is hard for you to remember, write “Be in the moment!” on some sticky notes and stick them to a few key items (like the fridge, the dining table, and the play room) throughout the house. It takes about one hundred days to really change a habit and to retrain your thinking, so be patient with yourself. If you need help to make your home a place where you can recharge and relax, we at LifeWorx are here to help!
