Can we talk about something real for a second?

Life is loud. Between work, family, the news, and our own inner critic—our peace gets buried fast. But here’s what I know: your peace is not gone. It’s just waiting to be reclaimed.

And you don’t need to move to the mountains or sit in silence for three hours a day to get it back.

Let’s keep it simple. Here are 3 spiritual practices you can start today (yes, even with a busy schedule).

1. Start Your Morning in Stillness

Before you grab your phone… pause.

Close your eyes. Put one hand over your heart. Take 3 slow, deep breaths.

Ask:

• What do I need today?

• Who do I want to be today?

That 60 seconds of stillness can shift your entire day. It centers you, grounds you, and reminds you that you are not your to-do list.

2. Speak Life Over Yourself

Your words are powerful. What you speak over your life becomes the energy you walk in.

Try these each morning:

• “Today, I move with peace and purpose.”

• “I release what I can’t control.”

• “I am safe, I am loved, I am enough.”

Stick ‘em on your mirror. Say them while brushing your teeth. Let them reframe your inner dialogue.

3. Cleanse Your Energy

Feeling heavy? Drained? That’s not always you—it might be what you’re carrying from others.

Try this quick energy reset:

• Light a candle or take a short walk.

• Visualize negative energy leaving your body with each exhale.

• Say: I release what isn’t mine to hold.

Bonus tip: Keep your space tidy. Spiritual clutter often shows up in physical clutter.

A Final Note…

Spiritual practices don’t have to be deep or complicated. They just have to be yours. Whatever brings you back to peace, back to your body, back to yourself—that’s the practice.

Give yourself permission to start small. You’re not trying to be perfect. You’re trying to be present.
