A Daily Family Regimen To Inspire Positivity in Children
The Equilibrium Journal for Parenting
As working parents, we’re constantly managing our shifting priorities of parenting, work, relationships, and me time (we often forget this one!). Building a system to manage and integrate these priorities is vital for a happy, fulfilled life.
The Equilibrium Journal is a life design & management system that adapts to each individual’s unique goals and lifestyle. The journal is based on a framework designed by When Toys Age founder, Hillary Wen, and is packed with structures to help shape our mindset and the way we approach our day to day lives. Because of its intuitive framework, The Equilibrium Journal is an exceptional tool for parents to enjoy quality time with their kids while also helping them build important mindset structures that set them up for long-term happiness and success. Best part? It has tons of short & long-term benefits and really no downsides!
While The Equilibrium Journal aligns and integrates all these moving pieces, we’re going to focus solely today on building a family regimen that inspires positivity!
Equilibrium At Home
Building a regimen with your kids can be fun and some of the best moments you can share. You never know what moments your children will remember, so this is about turning the everyday moments into habits that will set them up for for success and guide them to be the best version of themselves.
It’s also about setting a good example for your kids. They’re not the only ones visualizing and reflecting on their days; you and your partner are doing it too.
