Readers, I’ve been taking blogging a bit easy lately, since I’ve been extra focused on work and finding a sense of balance in my day to day ebb and flow. Things have a way of getting out of balance quickly and I find it’s a constant effort to feel like I’ve got everything calm and centered. Some of the ways I try to stay grounded are below. Please share your grounded, centered, and calming tips in the comments section below! I would love new ideas!
- Connecting with friends and family; talk about a taking a village, am I right? Even just a quick text to share in a moment feels like a wonderfully balanced act.
- Alone time; most people are shocked to know I’m a massive introvert. I really only recharge being completely by myself and I’ve implemented “task free days” where I just CHILL and do whatever I want. So liberating!! Those days, I’m often thrifting, at the library, or catching up on a few of my favorite shows.
- Creating! I LOVE to craft just about anything. These days, I’ve been working on felted wool animals. Yep. It’s so relaxing and calming!
- Yoga, mindfulness, and running. Enough said!
What about you, readers? Share your “ommm” strategies below!

Lately my life has been very stressful and to help thru all of it I find working on a puzzle helps me to relax and not think about anything.
I love puzzles! Great tip- also sending lots of positive energy your way 🙂
When I’m overwhelmed and stressed I book a spa day and shut my phone off a few hours, or days if able!
Oooo great idea!!! 🙂
Meditation, deep breathing, and a good bath!
Yes!!! All great ideas- thanks!!
I often find that a good pamper night is exactly what I need !!!
Good call! That is super relaxing!!
When I feel overwhelmed or stressed, i find time to stay in, paint my nails, give myself a facial, watch movies with a glass of red wine…it works wonders! 😀
oooo yes! Excellent tips!! 🙂
I used to have difficulty being alone, now I love it. I usually dedicate a day or two for myself, running errands, exercising, going to one of my favorite coffee shops or simply exploring my area. I’ve become a big fan of candles and I love to light one up during night time and catch up on blog posts.
Yes!! I love that! And you’ve come to love it :)!!
Definitely especially discovering new places.
i stay grounded and centered through my miscellaneous hobbies such as hiking, coloring and blogging 🙂
