Intentionality. Is it a practice in your home? Just like you, most people are so busy with their responsibilities, their roles, and their careers that they're not being intentional. However, it is crucial for you to be intentional in your home because even amidst the chaos— why? Because intentionality is what's going to play a huge role. Stay until the end to hear a fun tip about your marriage and how you can become more intentional with it. Let's start off with some of those AM rituals that'll actually going to make you more intentional, something that will give you a boost and a dose as you come back from work. And of course, let's wrap it up with those evening hours to make sure you're being a bit more intentional in the way that you show up for life. Let's imagine it is 7:07 AM and you hear your kiddo screaming and yelling, saying, "I can't find my sock." Now, as a parent, you cannot understand how a 9-year-old keeps losing their sock. So usually you'll get frustrated, mad, and irritated. But today, as you're going up the stairs, you start to think, "How do I want to show up more intentionally?" As you're walking up the stairs, you remind yourself to bring the calm amongst the chaos. You remind yourself of how you're going to set the stage for the way your kiddo enters their school day and even their day in general. So let's take a moment before you go up the stairs and help them figure out a solution as to how they don't lose their socks anymore. However, it all begins with the calm that you bring. So drop in the comments, let us know, how are you going to practice being more calm as you go up the stairs to help your kiddo in those difficult morning hours. It's 5:48 PM and you have just gotten home exhausted by the new projects, your boss talking about budget cuts with the innovation of AI. Typically, you park your car, turn the engine off, grab your bag, and head straight into the house. Today, however, is different. Why? Because you are being intentional. Today, what I want to share with you is a simple practice that has helped dozens of my clients, and they say, Ambereen, this was a game changer in the way that I showed up for my home after my work hours. Here it goes. Sit in the car, turn the car off, don't go anywhere, close your eyes for about 2 minutes, and just breathe. Breathe and think about everything that you've had at work, the difficulties. Leave them behind in your car. And as you're breathing, I want you to think about and summon the energy that you need to show up as the best version of you for your home. This simple practice, 2 minutes of investment for yourself to build a family and a legacy, is extremely doable, right? Drop in the comments, let me know, are you going to do this? And stay tuned to really hear another innovative tip that's going to support your married life. It's the evening hours and all you can think about is letting loose, sitting on the couch and letting the day go. So you sit down on that couch, you turn the TV on, and you start to look for something you want to watch and find. Shortly after, your spouse joins you after tucking the kids into bed, and typically the both of you will find something to watch. And before you know it, you pick up your phone and you just start scrolling. And as you're scrolling, you noticed 32 minutes have gone by. Today is a little different. Why? Because today you are being intentional. Now, simple practice. Here we go. As your partner joins you, I want you to stop, look up at your partner, and engage. Give him or her a lovely, beautiful hug. This shows them that you recognize that they're there, that you're engaged, that you're committed. A simple practice of 30 seconds, which then usually leads to a beautiful kiss, and the both of you by the end of it are smiling. Go ahead, continue your evening the way you want. However, now you just got a boost as to how you can actually build even more intimacy, love, and connection in your marriage. Often we think intentionality requires a lot of time. Today you've learned that in just 1 to 2 minutes, you can shift the energy of the AM hours after coming home from work, and even in those evenings.
