By being "centered" (is that the right spelling?) I mean feeling "balanced", generally good physically, emotionally and spiritually.

For me this is often achieved by:

* Stopping for a moment to "gather my thoughts". This means having a quiet time to complete a thought and sort out my feelings and strategies for challenges etc.

* Putting an essential oil in my vapourizer. This could differ according to how I am feeling unbalanced. My InEssence Motivation oil often helps.

* Doing basic body maintainence things like drinking lots of water, and avoid food high in sugar and salt. Having a shower. brushing my hair with a scalp massaging brush and putting it back in a pony tail with a head band <-- for some reason that really helps me start the day. Taking InLiven and/or Fast Tract.

* Visiting a place with good soul energy like a church. Reading self help books and parenting books (my book of the moment is The Science of Parenting... this has really helped me "center" as a parent). Distracting my mind from dwelling on the same thoughts.... looking for something new to think about. Meditating on newly acquired knowledge.

I'd love to hear what other people do!
