You already know how important it is to carve out time for yourself. While it recharges your batteries and puts life in perspective, it is also a boost for both mental and physical health. Did you know THAT? Admittedly, a lot of us don’t always know how to claim a little me time–maybe because we think we need a full day or weekend alone to really relax. But even a short, simple break can go a long way towards refreshing you. Let these ideas inspire your just-for-me moments and help you to find a slot in your day to claim for your own!
- Take 5 minutes to journal and reflect on the emotional aspects of your life
- Enjoy a short soak in a hot tub or warm bath, preferably with soothing music in the background
- Cuddle with your pet
- Sip some tea and flip through a magazine
- Take a power nap (catnaps are most renewing if you take them between 1 and 3 p.m.)
- Play the piano, guitar, or any other instrument you love
- Do some simple stretches or yoga
- Curl up with your favorite book
- Sit in your easy chair and listen to some of your favorite tunes
- Take a walk and enjoy the crisp, fall air
