Summer vacation over...Ease back into a routine to make Mornings easy going.....

Schools are opened after summer vacation in USA. Being with our daughter in USA, gave me the idea of this post. Bye bye to carefree mornings to busy mornings. How to make the mornings stress free is really a transition period for almost all parents especially moms. Feeling rushed in the morning is an important reason for added stress. Rushing through activities is an unhealthy way to start a day and it will reflect on the attitude for the rest of the day.
Let us have a look into some of the strategies to incorporate into the daily routines to make the busy mornings go more smoothly and reduce the easily avoidable stress.
Get some work done the evening before.
Assist the kids to prepare the school bags before bed.
Prepare lunch, pack it and have them ready in the refrigerator.
Iron the clothes and uniforms for the following day.
Go to bed fifteen minutes early to wake up fifteen minutes early in the morning.
Go for quick breakfast foods such as oatmeal, cereal bars, wholegrain cereals, milk, fruits and smoothies which your family likes.
A few extra minutes can be used for your self care which enhance your self esteem and can make you refreshed for a easy going start to the day.
