They say small habits can make big changes—turns out, they’re right. I started spending just 10 minutes a day reading something positive and a few more with a devotional, and it completely shifted my mindset. It’s amazing what a tiny daily habit can do.

This simple 10-minute daily routine for personal growth and finding peace has completely changed the way I start my day and how I see things.

Embracing Change: Finding Purpose in a New Season

They say small habits can make big changes—turns out, they’re right. I started dedicating just 10 minutes a day to reading something positive and a few more minutes with a devotional, and honestly… I didn’t expect how much it would shift my outlook.

Transitioning from the constant busyness of motherhood to a quieter rhythm was both liberating and a little daunting. For the first time in years, I had space to rediscover who I am outside of my daily roles. Taking just a few intentional minutes each day for personal growth and reflection became my way of reconnecting—with myself and what truly matters.

The Power of a Positive Mindset

Life has thrown me some curveballs—heartbreak, loss, and moments that could’ve easily made me bitter. But somewhere along the way, I decided I didn’t want to live that way. I’ve seen what negativity can do, and I promised myself I’d always try to be the opposite of that.

That’s where my love of mindset books comes in. The Miracle Morning completely changed how I start my day—it’s like a reset for my mind and spirit. I also love Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude by Napoleon Hill, The High Five Habit and The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins, Rethinking Positive Thinking by Gabriele Oettingen, and The Bright Side: How Optimists Change the World. Each one reminds me that even when life feels heavy, I still get to choose my outlook.

People often tell me I’m such a positive person no matter what I’ve been through. The truth is, it’s not always easy. But I’ve learned to pray through the pain, focus on gratitude, and trust that God has a plan—even when I can’t see it yet. Staying positive doesn’t mean pretending everything’s perfect; it means believing something good can still come out of the hard parts.

My Daily Reset Routine: A 10-Minute Daily Routine for Personal Growth and Finding Peace

Most mornings begin with a few pages of a mindset book, a short devotional, and a quick journal entry. I also make time for gratitude—writing down what I’m thankful for—and setting simple weekly goals, like trying a new recipe or taking a peaceful walk. Cooking has become my creative outlet, while walking clears my mind and helps me stay present. Journaling, much like writing this blog, keeps me grounded and focused on what’s good.

It’s Never Too Late to Start Something New

If you’re feeling stuck or ready for a reset, carve out just ten minutes a day for yourself. Read or listen to something uplifting, spend a few minutes with a devotional, jot down your thoughts, or do something creative that brings you joy. Big change doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built through small, consistent steps.

Life will always have its ups and downs, but I’ve learned that peace doesn’t come from having a perfect life—it comes from being present in the one you have. Whether it’s reading something inspiring, cooking a favorite meal, or simply sitting quietly with a cup of coffee, those little moments truly add up.

So here’s your gentle reminder: take ten minutes today just for you. Breathe, reflect, and do one small thing that feeds your soul. You might be surprised by how much it changes everything.
