Admit it. You’ve fallen into bed at night with that feeling…

You hurried all day, shuttled the kids, ran the errands, worked hard. You got things done. But in the rush of the day, you got a little lost in there somewhere. If only you could have a few uninterrupted minutes to take care of yourself without everything falling apart. Lying there at night, you think about the next day and realize you don’t have time for yourself tomorrow either. You’re exhausted just thinking about it.

So, how do you carve out a little “me time” when there’s so much to do?

Hint: ‘Me Time’ Is Not Actually About Time

Truth is, every mom would love a whole day to herself—but we can get re-energized on a lot less. Feeling taken care of is less about the time you spend doing it and more about what you do.

Have a plan. Identify exactly which kind of activity will recharge you. And when those extra 10 minutes show up, do it!
