Soak up some relaxation
“You know you need some downtime, but that bubble bath just isn't going to happen. Here's another way to soak up some relaxation.”
If you don't have 30 minutes or more to carve out some me time, all is not lost. Sometimes even a five or 10-minute stress buster is all you need. Before you start your next project at work, walk around the block or just stare out the window for a few minutes. If you don't have a window, listen to music, read an online daily devotional or uplifting message. After you put the kids to bed and have done everything for everyone else, knowing you're going to spend 15 minutes reading a good book or stand in a hot shower can be just the ticket to help you unwind.
