Daily reflection protects what matters most

If you find yourself feeling frazzled, and your own greater priorities—like devoting time and energy to your children’s language development—getting shortchanged by pressing, but less important activities, then some form of daily meditation or quiet reflection could be helpful to reset your lifestyle. When those higher priorities receive less attention and action than the lower priorities—however “urgent” such obligations feel in the moment—this is a clear sign that something is wrong and the situation must be addressed and made right.
