One way to reduce your feelings of overwhelm when you have too much to do is to delegate some of your tasks to your children. In this Quick Tip Tuesday, I'm sharing the four steps I use to effectively delegate tasks to my children and turn over responsibility to them.

In this episode, I mentioned that we use a Responsibilities and Privileges List as a part of delegating to my children. Click here to learn more about the Responsibilities and Privileges List.

These feelings also impair our ability to regulate our emotions and set the tone of our home. In today's episode, we'll dive into why that happens and how you can avoid it.

The “Be still”  meditation is helpful for slowing down and recentering your thoughts. During this meditation, you will recite the first part of Psalm 46:10. After you recite it, take a deep breath. Then shorten it by one phrase and take another deep breath. Meditate on the words as I lead you through this exercise.

The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique is designed to reengage your prefrontal cortex by drawing attention to your surroundings. I’ll walk you through the exercise and provide prompts to help you remember the order when you do this on your own. These are the prompts my daughter uses. In addition to providing a reminder of what to do, it also adds tactile stimulation for kinesthetic learners and additional grounding.

Square breathing is an exercise where you breathe in and out evenly. It is also a great exercise to include tactile stimulation for an additional grounding effect by drawing a box on your leg, arm, or palm as you breathe in and out. Let’s practice together.

How many times have you been wrecked by emotions? 

Maybe you weren't able to respond the way you wanted.

Maybe the tone of your home was not pleasant because your emotions, the emotions of your children, or all of the above, were taking control. 

It's not always easy, but you can manage your emotions and cultivate a thriving home atmosphere. In this episode, you'll learn the three simple steps to manage your emotions instead of letting them control you.

We've been talking over the past month about practical strategies for managing your day. Today's focus is a little different. We're going to look at 7 barriers to effective time management and how you can overcome them. These obstacles are just as important to consider. If we can eliminate the barriers, we can more effectively focus on implementing the strategies we've talked about in the last few episodes.
