In this unique season of family, we have the opportunity to be intentional about our self-care, our relationships, and even taking care of the home we live in.
Sometimes we need a little vision, though. A plan. Some ideas that get us heading in the right direction.
Here are your day 53 opportunities:
Read Proverbs 6 for your daily dose of wisdom!
?You:
Soften your forehead, unclench your jaw, and relax your shoulders. When you do that, you’ll stop holding tension in your body.
?Marriage:
Have a dessert picnic this evening. Make a special dessert for the two of you, spread a blanket on the floor, and talk. Ask each other, “What do you need most from me right now?” Then listen well and thank your spouse for sharing.
???Kids:
Everyone outside for 15 minutes minimum each day.
Babies: Read your little one five stories today. Use different voices to make it even more interesting for their mind and their ears.
Kids and Teens: Be a cheerleader ONLY to your kids today, even when correcting them. For instance, “I know there’s a wise person inside of you and I’m sure the next time there’s a situation like that, you’ll handle it differently! (Did you have trouble accessing the “yes mom” blog post yesterday. We fixed it and you can find it here!)
?♀️Exercise:
Take a real bike ride today. Feel the wind on your face.
?Contact:
Order a book you have loved for a friend today so she’ll have a surprise in her mailbox! (Many authors are willing to have you order it from them personally so it can be signed. I’ve done that for quite a few people who have wanted to share one of my books with a friend! I don’t have an ordering system on my website, but, like many authors if you reach out by email through our websites, we can make it happen!)
?House/Homemaking
Clean all the mirrors in your house and wipe the front of your television today.
?Clothes:
Do you have hand-me-down clothing stored for your kids to grow into? Today’s a good day to check those bags or boxes to see if there’s anything your kids can be wearing now.
You’ve got a unique opportunity today! Use it well!
