Yoga in Daily Life
There is no right or wrong way to integrate yoga into your daily life. The way that works for you and fits into your schedule is the right one for you. There are some suggestions to try and begin with to figure out your path to daily yoga practice.
1. Join a yoga class and practice poses on days you do not have class.
2. Start by doing a Sun Salutation every morning as part of your morning routine.
3. Add a series of yogic activities throughout the day as you have time. Morning meditation, affirmation, and yoga routine along with a meditation and breathing session in the evening, for example.
4. Perhaps breaking it down even further, morning meditation and affirmation, afternoon yoga routine, and evening breathing and meditation.
5 The time of day is when you have the time to actual practice yogic activities, the goal is to do it daily, not do it every day at 8 a.m.

Thoughts on Affirmations
How to decide on an affirmation?
Affirmations are a very personal thing, a good affirmation should mean something special and important to your life goals. It can be simple or complex. Nothing is set in stone on how it should be worded, however it should be positive and speak toward something you are consciously working on or toward in your life. Many sites will give examples or methods or the exact wording and affirmations themselves. I believe even just saying "Today will be better" is enough, if it holds a meaning you know and feel is enough. Search for examples to get an idea, but make it your own by putting it into your own words, your own feelings, and your own purpose and mission in life.

Miracle Morning Silence and Meditation
Silence and Meditation Ideas
Silence Ideas
1. One of my favorites is just sitting on the front porch with a cup of hot tea/coffee and listen to the stillness of the morning.
2. The winter can make outdoor silence setting uncomfortable, but curled up on the couch or cozy chair can work just as well, let your mind empty into a silent home atmosphere for even just 3 minutes.
3. Ear plugs - for that busy household that seems to never have even 3 minutes of quiet.
Meditation Ideas
1. YouTube.com has several good guided 3 to 15 minute morning meditations.
2. Meditate on your affirmation, especially if you change it daily.
3. Meditate on gratitude for something that happened the day before.
4. Meditate on a personal trait you are trying to change or modify.

Set your Day Up for Success
Set your Day Up for Success
My Routine
Silence - Morning tea/coffee on the front porch or a short meditation session.
Affirmation- I have a monthly affirmation I reflect and repeat each morning of that month
Visualization - Tarot Reading or Vision Board
Exercise- Yoga, Walking, or Cardio
Read - Currently reading books in my Classics list, about 15 minutes a day.
Scribe - Daily journaling
Then I move on to the home morning routine with a motivated attitude,
I use a variation of the Fly Lady method of keeping my home.
1. Make the Bed
3. Start Laundry
4. Put dishes away
5. Take out trash
6. 5 minute pick-up
7. Review daily planner for overview of the day
8. Breakfast
9. Feed/Water Pets
10. Change from yoga wear to the outfit for the day
I usually finish this routine between 8 and 9 pm, sometimes earlier if I have an earlier appointment for the day.

Getting Into the Spirit of Autumn and the Holiday Season
Fall Cleaning and Organizing Websites
Holiday Grand Plan is one of three options that have been hosted by Organized Home and Organized Christmas for many years and continue to be a personal favorite for many people. https://organizedhome.com/christmas/holiday-grand-plan
House and Holidays is the one that I go to most often for my own seasonal planning. It takes a 18 week commitment much like the Holiday Grand Plan, but it helps break things down into chucks that keep the last minute regrets at bay.
https://christmas.organizedhome.com/house-holidays-plan/calendar-2020
The last of the three options from this host is a 6 week plan called Christmas Countdown. If you are looking for a shorter time span this may just what you are looking for.
