In a world that feels like everyone is in a rush and things are going so fast, it is paramount that we take time to move at our own pace. A pace where we everything we do is with deliberation and intention. A beautiful, meticulous way of life.
Calmness these days can be difficult adopt, —everything feels like its going so fast. As women, we are expected to juggle so many roles and this can easily leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. Yet, in the middle of this whirlwind, I’ve found ways to maintain a sense of stillness and calm.
~Personal backstory
I work an 8-4 job, and at the same time I create content for my blog. I also workout three times a week and eat home cooked meals that I make and of course keep up with my spiritual and social life +hobbies. My life isn’t so hectic but is enough to drive me insane. In spite of all this, stillness, calm and gentleness has remained a priority to me. How do i do all this? you might ask. Let’s first understand what calmness really entails.
The beauty of calm
Calmness/stillness not about perfection or having it all figured out; it’s about making intentional choices that nurture inner peace. It’s about being unfazed by all the crazy things happening in the society and knowing how to filter out toxicity. It is simply making a decision to not engage in a constant mental battle with your mind, self, environment and world at large. We all know how mental battles can be exhausting and draining.
Here are ten rock-solid ways I hold onto my calm as a woman in a chaotic world.
1. Prioritizing Gentle Mornings
Start your day softly with a prayer or meditation. Instead of rushing out of bed and diving into a sea of notifications, take a few moments to breathe. Whether it’s a few stretches, journaling, or sipping tea or making a simple breakfash. Embracing a gentle morning honors feminine energy, which thrives on softness and flow rather than hustle and grind.
2. Embracing the Power of Saying No
One of the most profound ways to protect your peace is by learning to say no without guilt. As women, we are often conditioned to be people-pleasers, but saying yes to everything drains our energy. I’ve realized that every time I say no to something that doesn’t serve me, I’m saying yes to my well-being. And that is a powerful form of self-respect.
3. Creating Sacred Spaces
My environment deeply influences my state of mind. I cultivate areas in my apartment that feel peaceful and grounding. You could create A cozy reading nook, a corner with candles and flowers, or even a beautifully made bed can be a sanctuary. These small, sacred spaces invites you to pause and reconnect with yourself when the world feels too loud.
4. Honouring body’s wisdom
Instead of pushing through exhaustion or ignoring my feelings, I’ve learned to listen to my body. Resting when I’m tired, nourishing myself with wholesome food, and moving in ways that feel good (like slow yoga or a sensual dance) keeps me grounded. Our feminine essence flourishes when we honor our natural rhythms rather than forcing ourselves to conform to a rigid pace.
5. Time management
Being mindful of how I spend my time helps me maintain my peace. I prioritize tasks that align with my values and delegate or let go of what doesn’t. By managing my time wisely, you create space for rest, joy, and meaningful connections.
Time managements also helps you stay efficient in your work, knowing what to do and disciplining yourself to do it at the right time keep you organized and anxious free.
6. Limiting Information Overload
In a world where we are bombarded with news and social media 24/7, it is important to protect your mental space by limiting my exposure. give yourself permission to unplug and curate what you consume. This doesn’t mean being uninformed, but it does mean being intentional about what is being let into the mind and heart. Peace grows when you set healthy boundaries with information.
So yes, anytime you find yourself doomscrolling or constantly watching the news, take a step back and think about what you’re doing.
7. Using Free Time Properly
Instead of mindlessly scrolling or overloading my schedule, I use my free time to recharge. Whether it’s indulging in a hobby, spending time with loved ones, or simply resting, I ensure my downtime nourishes my soul and restores my calm.
~ using your free time to enjoy nature
Nature is one of the most potent healers. A simple walk outside, feeling the sun on my skin, or listening to the rustle of leaves instantly soothes my spirit. Nature mirrors the beauty of feminine energy—it flows effortlessly, nourishes deeply, and reminds us to trust in cycles. Whenever life feels overwhelming, it is good return to the earth to restore a sense of calm.
8. Practicing Softness in My Relationships
I cultivate calm by embracing softness in how I relate to others. This means leading with empathy, speaking with kindness, and allowing myself to be vulnerable. Softness doesn’t mean weakness—it’s a powerful expression of feminine grace. When you approach relationships with an open heart, you create an atmosphere of peace in your life.
9. Preparing for the Next Day the Night Before
A little preparation goes a long way in reducing stress. I take a few moments each night to plan for the next day—whether it’s laying out my clothes, writing a to-do list, or prepping meals. This simple habit helps me start my day with clarity and ease, keeping the morning rush at bay.
10. Letting Go and Trusting
Finally, I’ve learned that I can’t control everything—and trying to only breeds anxiety. Embracing a sense of trust in life’s unfolding has been one of the most freeing practices for me. I remind myself that not everything requires my immediate action and that some things resolve themselves with time. Surrender is not giving up; it’s allowing life to flow without resistance.
Wrapping up
At the heart of it all, maintaining stillness and calm as a woman in a chaotic world is about tuning into my feminine essence. It’s about choosing softness over hardness, flow over force, and trust over control. Each of these practices is a gentle reminder that peace is not something we find—it’s something we create within ourselves, moment by moment.
