Think of those days where your schedule is packed, your inbox is full of emails, you need to get to the grocery store, your place is a mess, youโve committed to too many activities, you can hardly catch your breath, and you do not even know where to start. When everything feels chaotic and overwhelming, we want to provide you with 5 tools to help move you through to a more peaceful and productive place.
When youโre in the space where you feel you just canโt get a hold of your schedule, time, mental peace, or self-care, use our acronym, CHAOS, to direct your next move.
- C- Calm- Calm the chaotic energy down- slow your breath, slow your pace, slow your mind.
- H- Help- Ask for help- let someone know you have too much on your plate, delegate, get a hug.
- A- Action- Plan out your next moves to start crushing that to-do list, prioritize your first few big items and knock them off the list.
- O- Opportunity- Find the opportunity in the chaos- gratitude, notice your strengths, realign with your values.
- S- Sabbath- Rest- Take intentional time to sleep, slow down, connect, observe, and rejuvenate.

Ivy Reflections
- When you think of calm- what comes to mind? Where are you, what are you doing, when are you feeling most at peace?
- What could ‘help’ look like for you in this season of life?
- What things could you add into your weekly schedule to help fill your cup back up? When would you schedule them in for?
