Centered: Morning Meditation or Quiet Time

7/11/2019

14 Comments

 

You've just started to meditate or pray. And suddenly, in the distance, you hear the sound of the TV playing a cartoon. Or, you hear your spouse laughing with the kids. Or, that knock on the door.

I know you don't have much time in the morning, and you don't want to waste it wishing for silence or an ability to tune out when noise happens.

Let's talk about how to get centered enough to have a deeper quiet time or meditation experience...

Centered and Grounded


Sandalwood essential oil is ideal for helping you get into a meditative state, and can help whether you are meditating or having a quiet time. It blends well with ylang ylang essential oil, which also is deeply relaxing.

Go easy with the latter one. Just a drop on a cotton ball will be more than enough.

You may want to keep sandalwood's scent subtle as well, so just a couple of drops in your diffuser should be plenty.

Have you tried using sandalwood, before? Let me know in a comment.

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine

The Morning Wake-Up Call

Do You Have Difficulty Getting Going
in the Morning?


Which is the most difficult part, waking up or staying awake? And how much time goes by before you actually get out of bed and can function well?

Tell me in a comment.

Here's my suggestion for how to reclaim this part of your morning. Create a morning routine that...

(1) Wakes you up & gets you up, before your children.

(2) Gives you time to become more awake, alert and functional be fore you have to do anything.

(3) Helps you move from cranky, groggy, tired and sleepy to less of all of the above.

That space that you give yourself, before you have to interact, and function, will make such a big difference in how your mornings begin.

And aromatherapy can help.

Aromatherapy for Tired Mamas


Because waking up and getting up can be such a challenge, tired moms need an essential oil or essential oil blend that compels and leads them to becoming fully awake and alert. But nobody wants to be led by a drill sergeant that early in the morning.

So it needs to be an essential oil you really like. One you want to keep breathing in, because you love the scent.

And that may be more important than which essential oil is best for helping you become alert.

For example, peppermint oil may help you wake up, but if you don't like it, why bother? You might prefer a cozy scent, like ginger, instead.

Gingerbread cookies, anyone?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

The Morning Routine Quiz


If you struggle with mornings, the entire part of your day may seem like a mixed bag of trouble. And although you may want to create a morning routine to help make mornings better, you may not know exactly where to start.

The best place to start is to identify which part of your morning routine needs the most attention. If mornings are a challenge for you, as a whole, start with what is causing the biggest problem, resolve that, and then, work on another one.

So, you might want to ask yourself which tasks your mornings consist of and in what order?

And what is the hardest part?

Taking The Morning Routine Quiz will help you answer those questions and identify what to focus on first.

Challenge Profile


Where does your struggle with mornings live - in waking up and getting up, getting ready or getting things done? And have you identified the specific challenges?

Once you have taken the quiz and you are clear on your initial focus strategy for mornings, keep it in mind as we go through the month, so you won't miss the recommendations.

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine
