Some seasons feel like an endless loop of Monday mornings—exhausting, overwhelming, and full of never-ending tasks. Whether it is homeschooling, work/gigs, parenting, or just the daily grind, those “Monday” feelings can creep in and make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming.
When life starts to feel that way, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut of frustration. But true peace isn’t about perfect circumstances. It’s about shifting our focus and finding calm in the chaos.
Here’s how to embrace P.E.A.C.E. even on the hardest days:
P – Pray first and center your heart. Start with prayer, grounding yourself in faith before the stress takes over. Hand over your worries and let God carry the weight.
E – Embrace the moment, even the imperfect ones. Life can be messy, and that’s okay. Instead of fighting the chaos, lean into it and find the beauty in the ordinary.
A – Adjust your perspective and give yourself grace. Not every day will deliver rock-star mom productive outcomes, and that’s normal. Shift your focus from perfection to progress, and remind yourself that you are doing enough.
C – Celebrate the small wins and everyday joys. Did you check one thing off your list? Did you laugh with your kids? Take a deep breath! Those moments matter. Recognize and celebrate them.
E – ENJOY the journey, not just the destination. Peace isn’t found in getting everything done—it’s found in slowing down, savoring what’s in front of you, and trusting that the hard days won’t last forever.
So when life feels like an endless Monday morning, take a deep breath and remember: even in the midst of chaos, exhaustion, or difficulty, peace is possible. Remember the words of Isaiah 26:3-4, which read, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.”
