Day 14: Create Your Calm List

🎄 Today's Focus: Building Your Personal Calm List

Welcome to Day 14!

Today, we're focusing on creating a Calm List—a personal collection of activities or practices that help you relax, feel grounded, and reconnect with yourself. Having a go-to list of calming options can be a powerful tool when life feels overwhelming, especially during the holiday season.

✨ Build Your Calm List ✨
Take a moment to reflect on what activities or practices help you feel centred. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

Physical Relaxation:

• Deep breathing exercises (try box breathing: inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4)

• Gentle stretching or a short yoga session

• A calm walk outside or around your home

Mindfulness Practices:

• Meditation (try a short guided session from apps like Headspace or Calm)

• Grounding exercises (name 5 things you can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch)

• Journaling or a quick brain dump

Creative Outlets:

• Drawing or crafting

• Listening to soothing music or playing an instrument

• Dancing to a favourite song

Soothing Self-Care:

• A warm bath or shower

• Drinking a cup of herbal tea or warm lemon water with honey

• Lighting a calming candle or using an essential oil diffuser

Movement & Nature:

• A quick walk outside

• Gardening or caring for plants

• Watching the world go by from a window

✨ It’s time to Create Your List!
Write down your personal calm-inducing activities. Keep the list somewhere easy to access—on your phone, in a journal, or on your fridge. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, pick one activity and give yourself the space to reset.

🎁 Today’s Takeaway: Peace in Small Moments
Your Calm List is a powerful tool to help you find peace in the busyness of life. When you feel stressed or overwhelmed, take a few moments to engage in one of these activities, bringing you back to a sense of calm and balance.
