**********************
It’s no secret that the world feels pretty crazy these days. In fact, I was pretty down in the dumps a few weeks ago. It was just getting to be too much.
As busy moms, we’ve already got so much on our plates in the best of times and now with EVERYTHING else that is 2020, it’s hard to stay sane.
Not only do we have the coronavirus, it feels like the whole world is falling apart. In the U.S. we have the politicalization of mask wearing, a no-holds-barred election (even local races are getting ugly), long-overdue protests for equal rights, huge climate issues (I’m in CA so the giant forest fires come to mind), an unraveling economic crisis, oh and we’re supposed to be able to teach our kids from home so it was time for me to figure out how to get some quiet alone time back.
These 9 strategies have been working amazingly well and helping me find calm in this crazy world. I know they can work for you too.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

What we recently started doing that has made the biggest impact for our whole family

Why having less clutter is essential for creating a calm home

The #1 thing I was super hesitant to do, but am now super happy I did and why you should do it too

How to carve out time for yourself even if you feel you have no time in your day

How I use my watch to be present for my family
