Day 14 Challenge:

Take a 10 Minute Outdoor

Medical News Today states, “Sunlight is essential for human health and well-being. The health benefits of sunlight include generating the production of vitamin D, supporting bone health, lowering blood pressure, preventing disease, and promoting good mental health.” Taking an outdoor walk is not just physically beneficial but mentally as well. It will help you cool off to carry out your day. Take a walk with your kid(s) and/or solo.

Movie night with my child(ren)

As parents, we cannot be all work and no play. It’s important to spend quality time with your kid(s). One of the best and easiest ways is by watching a movie together either at-home or at the movie theaters. Friday nights are movie night at my house and since we have 4 little ones, we opt for an at-home movie night with popcorn and snacks. We watch it sans cellphones and enjoy a family movie together. Make it a family tradition!

Day 13 Verse
"Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord." - Ephesians 6:4

Shower at night

The shower is a place of intimacy where we find ourselves alone. After a long day of mothering, a warm shower or bath can help you relieve and unwind. As a busy mom, it’s in those rare moments of solitude that I take advantage to unload before God in prayer and tell Him about my day. Whether it’s with words or tears, He listens and takes my day’s worries while recharging my strength for the next day. Mothers do not have to climb a mountain to meet God, He understands us and comes to our rescue even in the shower. If you’re having a long day, take a warm bath or shower and release your burdens through prayer.

Day 12 Verse
"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." - Luke 5:16

Pray with my child(ren)

No matter how little they are, make time today to pray with your child(ren). They mimic us and learn from us. Whether it’s a prayer of gratitude at the end of the day, take the lead in showing them how to pray, then ask them to close their eyes and pray after you. This is a beautiful moment that everyone in the family can participate in and can eventually become part of your family ritual.

Day 11 Verse
"Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6

Implement the 5 MINUTE RULE

First of all, what is the 5 minute rule? Justin Bariso, author of EQ Applied defines it well: It works like this: You force yourself to work on a task for just five minutes, with the understanding that you can quit after five minutes if you like. With this new condition, the brain is “tricked” into now seeing your gargantuan task very differently. And once you start, you will most likely finish a task even if it takes you more than five minutes. The hard part is starting a task, but when you trick your brain into believing it’ll only take 5 minutes of your time, then the tasks seems doable. This rule can be applied to any given tasks, work-related, at-home, etc. Apply it on your everyday at-home tasks, such as cleaning, washing the dishes, picking up toys, etc. and you will see how much gets done sooner rather than later. This will decrease the stress of mess in your home as well as help you keep things tidy. I aim to do this throughout the day, however, more often at night once my kids are asleep. It is a game changer!

Day 10 Verse
"She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness." - Proverbs 31:27
