Smom's Lifestyle- The Calming Shower Soap Shop: What can I take away from my routine that might actually help me feel more relaxed?

What can I take away from my routine that might actually help me feel more relaxed?

For me, it was folding laundry. I just didn’t do it.

It was late, I was tired, and I had just finished cleaning up from dinner.

Normally, I would’ve pushed through and folded the clothes so I could feel “caught up.” But that night, I just didn’t.

And you know what? The world kept going...

Sometimes, in our minds we place these unrealistic expectations on ourselves, ignoring how we actually feel.

Acting as if we don't get " this" done now, there will be some HUGE problem. But the truth is... we have to think about the timelines we put on ourselves. The pressure we put on ourselves. To hurry up and get it done.

But, in this new journey towards slowing down a bit... learning to extend the timeline based on the season of life I'm in is so necessary.

Do you need to reconsider your own timeline on something in your life?

Do you need to just leave the basket full right now?

I left the basket full. I went straight to the bathroom, turned on the hot shower, and used my lavender soap. I didn’t rush.

I didn’t think about a to-do list.

I just gave myself the night off from doing “one more thing" and extended my timeline.

I felt calmer. I slept great. I didn’t wake up feeling behind—I actually felt more at ease.

Taking one thing off your list gives you space to reset. I’ve started doing it more often—just choosing one thing I don’t have to do right now.

Start small. For you, maybe it's laundry. Maybe it's not. Whatever that is, skip it today. And really take the time this evening to enjoy a hot, calming shower.

Smom's Lifestyle- The Calming Showers Soap Shop: How can I make my evenings feel slower and more peaceful without adding more to my to-do list?

How can I make my evenings feel slower and more peaceful without adding more to my to-do list?

There was a reality tv show that I used to watch a couple years back called Put a Ring On It. Essentially, it followed couples that were in very LONG relationships, but had never made the commitment to each other to get married. There was one couple that I remember- they were actually a really great match for each other (unlike many of the couples on the show).

​

Also, unlike many of the couples, the man in the relationship had actually asked her previously and wanted to get married. But, the woman in the relationship was a little too focused on all the unknowns of the future one including having kids or not. The woman was so afraid of the future or the unknown of the future that she was ready to just throw in the towel because she "in her mind" couldn't handle not knowing or really just not being in control.

​

To get to the point, the therapist said something to her that has stuck with me ever since and I try to keep this idea front and center as I navigate my life... my aspirations, my family, my business, the future, and the knowns that often bring stress and that not so fun anxious feeling. She said- Surrender control, Allow good things to happen, and Be present in this moment.

​

So many times we get too caught up in what's ahead, or trying to plan out everything, or get to the destination that we miss the beautiful pieces of the journey. It is in these times when showing down is even more important so that we don't miss the beauty of the things, the moments, and the people God chooses to place in our lives as we move along the journey.

The point isn't rushing to the destination- it's actually slowing down to see the journey itself.

​

If your evenings feel rushed—or like an extension of your to-do list—you’re not alone.

It’s easy to fall into the pattern of doing more, even when what you really need is a chance to just Be Present In The Moment.

I want so say this to you.... peace doesn’t come from adding more. It comes from choosing what matters most.

For me, it's easier to see that when there's clarity.

Clarity comes in the slow and simple moments.

Slow moments come in many ways, even with a hot shower and lavender soap.

These small slow moments feeI so good to your soul. They calm you. They clear your mind.

In the steam of a hot shower, the mind unwinds.

That simple slow, calming shower—isn’t just a way to wash off the day. It’s a way to return to yourself without pressure, without noise, without another thing on your list.

And when you focus on that one moment that truly brings value to your evening, everything else starts to feel lighter too.

Just start with one thing that brings you peace and slows you down. Let it be enough. And then in that moment, as the steam rises and the lavender scent fills the bathroom—slowly seeping under the door and into your bedroom spreading the smell of peace into your space, remind yourself:

Surrender control, allow good things to happen, and be present in this moment.

 

Your nerves will loosen, your breath will slow without the internal jitter, and your body will begin to exhale the day.

 Before You Power Through Another Night

— This is the Power of a Hot Shower

You’re tired. Mentally and physically.
You want a break.
You want to feel better, clearer, lighter- get rid of all that mental clutter. Let go of the emotional weight.

Maybe tonight, you can’t fix everything—and that’s okay.

So, Start With Small Changes.

Take a hot shower.- slowly.
Use lavender soap to help your body relax and for your mind to slow down when you feel tired of rushing your way through life.
Let the warm water soften your muscles and give yourself a few quiet minutes.
Pause the phone. Pause talking. Releasing the pressure to do more or get more done.

This is one small step that will help you feel more in control.
More calm. More peace.

You don’t have to do everything tonight.
You just have to do something that supports how you want to feel in this moment.

Less clutter. Less noise. Less rushing.
That’s what minimalism looks like at the end of a long day.

Start with the hot shower.
Start with the lavender soap.
Start with one small steps that help you softly reset.

Some days it just feels like my nervous system is overwhelmed which leaves me feeling overwhelmed. And on those kind of days, the last part of the day—noise from my kids, the tv screens, even a question about what's for dinner can send me into HULK mode... 🤯

And on those days, I know I just have to stop what I am doing- move slower because my body is telling me I need a moment of rest. The second I step into my hot shower- the steam, the warm water, just starts to melt away the tension. The steam from the shower with that fresh scent of lavender from my soap bar, it’s like I can finally just exhale- it's like if my nerves could talk, they'd be saying "ahhhh".

If you've ever felt like you were one small step away from snapping, or like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, that is your body's way of telling you... slow down a moment. Slowing down doesn’t mean you're lazy—it means you're listening. For me, that hot shower with my lavender soap has become my best getaway spot. This hot shower is about giving my senses a break. Letting the warm water and calming scent quiet the world for a minute.

Your bathroom can turn into your best getaway spot too, and it’s the time you don’t have to feel like you have to be “on.”

Does anyone else feel like this? Have a certain smell or routine that completely shifts your mood or helps you calm your mind?
