Welcome back to our 31 days of calming tips! It's October 2023, and I know the world might be feeling uncertain,chaotic and perhaps overwhelming. This calming series is here to help you.

So, take a moment to breathe, acknowledge your feelings, and let's dive into today's episode.

1. Caring for Ourselves in Chaotic Times:

When life feels out of control, and you can't find your footing, it's like the disorientation of being a bit tipsy. The key is to ask, "What can I do right now to nurture myself?" This question has been my lifeline through challenging times. Explore our episodes to find what speaks to you and lightens your load.

2. Choosing Uplifting Reads:

Today, we'll discuss the magic of reading, not just any book, but an uplifting one. Whether it's personal development, grounding stories, or even a feel-good beach read, pick books that inspire you. For me, authors like Brene Brown and Gabby Bernstein do the trick. Make time and space for reading in your day; it's an act of self-care that calms your soul.

3. Creating a Calming Reading Nook:

To enhance your reading experience, create a cozy nook in your home. A comfy chair, a soft blanket, and a cup of tea can transform a corner into a virtual hug. Physically, set aside time in your day for reading. Losing yourself in a good book is a calming action that makes a difference.

**Calm Action of the Day:**

- Your calming action of the day is to find an uplifting book. It could be on your bookshelf, waiting for you, or on your Kindle. Set aside time daily to read and feel the calming effect it has on your mind and soul. Remember, this is your moment of self-care.

In a world that might feel chaotic, remember you can always create a space for calm and self-care. By reading uplifting books, you're giving yourself a gift of serenity. You're in control of inviting calm into your life. Thank you for joining me today, and remember, you've got this! 📚✨💕
