Ideas to help you achieve serenity

On the assumption that many of us are not currently demonstrating the balance of said mind, body or soul as the lovely yoga princess in this article's picture (do not try btw), it's clear that improving balance and adding serenity in our lives could be exactly what we need to get though difficult times like those we are currently experiencing.  But where do we start?  DMK has some ideas that may help.

Married life starts pretty good for nearly all of us.  We venture into it with open minds and hearts and are rewarded with the comforts of a growing, symbiotic relationship.  We may start to think like our spouse, share the same beliefs, maintain similar goals and enjoy the same lifestyle.

We wake up and go.  We work and work, then go home and work.  We feed, talk and spend time with our family.  Then we workout, clean up and try to sleep.  But, we can't.  We worry and fester about work and family.  Then we wake up after less than the recommended 7-8 hours and go to work.
