Ananga Sivyer is a new friend, prolific blogger and sister anxiety
slayer. Check out what she has to say about adding some extra peace
to your day.

We're all too busy to fit everything we want to into our day.
Over-committed and over-stressed, we rush from one task to the next
with little thought for our own well being. And yet, we all want to
be calm, peaceful and happy. Here are five ways to show yourself a
little love and squeeze some peace into your busy day.

1. Put yourself on Pause

Sit, breathe and reflect. Take a step back from rushing and
emotional intensity and allow yourself a few minutes introspection.
You could watch your thoughts, or your breath, or set a timer and
free-write for ten minutes. Literally sit and pour your brain onto
a page, write out your thoughts, your ideas, your worries, whatever
is on your mind let it flow onto the paper. Then sit back and
savour the relief and clarity that comes from externalising your
thoughts.

2. Indulge in Peaceful Pleasures

Yoga, meditation and walking in nature can leave you feeling calm
and content in the knowledge that you're doing something to take
care of yourself, even 10 minutes can make a big difference to your
day. Get up ten minute early and start your day with a breath
focused meditation. For improved sleep and boosting your immunity
try an oil massage, or wind down with a guided stress relief
exercise before you drift off to sleep.

3. Grace and Gratitude

Take time out before bed each night to affirm "I am grateful for..."
even if you only do it for a minute this simple routine will help
you end your day with a grateful heart and peaceful mind. Going to
sleep with a grudge or a gripe will spoil the quality of your sleep
so be sure to make a habit of settling down with some thanks even
if it's for the most basic liberties like company, food and shelter.

4. Soothing Soundtracks

If you have an iPod or mp3 player, make yourself a peaceful
playlist. You could use classical music, music for relaxation,
self-hypnosis, or supportive podcasts. Anything you feel puts you
in a good state of mind.

My iTunes library has several "mood" playlists set up with
different themes: relaxing, meditation, music for writing,
devotional music, lectures and pep-talk podcasts. I'm listening to
my "writing support" playlist as I write this - that's the one that
keeps me going when I've got an article to finish and my mind's
thinking of lunch.

5. Hang out with Happy People

While it's good to be supportive and lend an ear to a friend in
need, it's also important to look after yourself by keeping
balanced company. Spending too much time with people who are
stressed or depressed will eventually affect you negatively too.
Make sure you spend time every day with someone uplifting. If you
can't be with them in person, call them and share a sweet exchange.
Positive company can also come from people you don't even know.
Look out for authors, inspiration speakers, or even a personal
development coach whose  energy, mood, and values are in tune with
your own goals and aspirations. You can listen while driving,
washing dishes, or preparing meals, and turn chore time into a time
of learning and positive reflection.
