- Sing. Singing will always lighten the mood.
- Cuddle up together & read a book.
- Read food labels when grocery shopping. All it takes is one, "there's how much in that!?" to break the ice & make for a smoother trip. If you have kids, it also starts introducing them to the concepts of nutrition & what the "little numbers" on the side of the box mean.
- Garden.
- Cook. Too many cooks in the kitchen? Nonsense. Teamwork & tight working spaces is a beautiful thing.
- Reward good behavior & make sure everyone feels valued. Celebrate one another.
- Snack smart. You'll feel better & in time look better.
- Stick to a schedule. Don't go crazy & plan your day out to the minute, but have a plan set in place to keep you busy everyday.
- Play games.
- Laugh.
- Keep the spark alive.
- Always take 10 minutes for ourselves. This gives us a break & a chance to reflect & recoup.
- Make kids contributors. They want to feel like a part of something. So next time your child is "bugging" you, give them something to do so they feel like they're helping you. Who knows, they might surprise you & might actually be of some help!
- Maintain balance. MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER!
Ways to make everyday a little brighter... "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, & wisdom to know the difference." <3
