- by Neville Epa
The world is ever-changing, which means the hustle bustle of our daily lives can often leave us struggling to find constant peace. However, despite this - it is essential that we have pockets of peace in our day-to-day lives to better navigate through anything life throws at us. We have put a list together of 5 daily practices that will help keep peace in your life. One suggestion we have for you is to be comfortable whilst indulging in these practices. Luckily, there are brands out there such as Pranayamah that have dedicated their lives to meticulously designing clothes that serve as conduits to immerse yourself in the present. Every item from Pranayamah is infused with the essence of mindfulness - encouraging you to release any tension you may be feeling and slow down. Try some of these practices and feel the difference!
1. Meditation - The act of connecting with your inner self each morning through meditation and breathwork is guaranteed to set the tone for your day. It won’t take too much time but set aside a few dedicated minutes of your morning to sit in stillness, with yourself. Focus on your breath and anchor yourself in the present - this will ensure calming of the mind, balancing of your energy and it will provide you with clarity for the day.
2. Words of Gratitude - Try to cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your life; acknowledge the abundance in your life (whatever it may be) and take a moment to reflect on all that you are grateful for. It could be the company of good friends and family, a job you love or even the warm sun on your skin everyday! You can also keep a gratitude journal or have post-it notes around your space to remind you to acknowledge it throughout the day.
3. Mindful Movement - This can come hand in hand with words of gratitude. Take some time in your day to practice mindful movement - this can be a walk in the park or a yoga session. Make sure you move your body with intention and awareness, helping to nurture a deeper sense of inner harmony.

4. Screen Detox - Given the fast pace of our world, it is easy to become overwhelmed with information on our screens. Take intentional, regular breaks from your technology to recharge your mind and your eyes. A good place to start would be to set boundaries for screen time - for example, try to avoid using screens during meal times or right before bed time. Encourage yourself to enjoy life offline more - this will definitely make you feel more calm, and at peace with yourself.
5. Reflections - As you do in the morning, it is important to have time to yourself in the evening or night. Whether that is after work or before you head out for a dinner, take some time to wind down and review the actions of your day with compassion and curiosity. Meditation during this time can help as well, but if you would like to try something new - you can have a reflection journal that allows you to acknowledge your celebrations and challenges alike.
