First, I'd have to say that my kids' nap time is the best. I can get my house put back together and some projects done. That is sacred time, I tell you. Second, getting up early to exercise. It resets my body and my emotional well being. I am so much more calm on the days I follow through and actually get out of bed. Third, taking a bit longer than necessary in the shower. That's calm, peaceful time for me (unless my baby is trashing the bathroom at that moment...). Hmmm. Three things? First, I’d have to say that my kids’ nap time is the best.

I especially like re-reading a part of a favorite novel or eating some yummy ice-cream or both! What helps me refocus is doing some calming activity.
