5. Alternate “me” time: Devote one hour to you each day to wind down or do something you love.
* Do something different each day. Try alternating reading, watching TV, writing in your journal, hobbies like knitting or crafting or even just taking a quiet walk.
* Devote your hour to learning something new. Take out a book from the library, read articles online or watch an hour long documentary.
* Make your hour a time to relax and pamper yourself. Give yourself a manicure, take a luxurious bath or try some at-home beauty treatments.
6. Be spontaneous: Keep yourself and your family on their toes by doing the unexpected every now and then.
* Take a new route home. You may discover a shortcut or pass by a new restaurant, store or park you would normally never come across. It’s like being a tourist in your own town.
* Spend time with nature. Plan an impromptu camping trip or hike with the whole family.
* Do something completely different on a school
night—enjoy some craft time, go to the park or have a movie night. Put everything else on hold for a night of fun.
Whether your days could use a little mixing up, slowing down or spontaneity, put these suggestions to use in ways that work for you and your family.
