Time-pressed moms can find inspiration in a new book from mental skills coach Sara Robinson. She packs more than 150 ideas in “Self-Care for Moms” (Adams Media, $15.99) for mothers looking to incorporate ways to take care of themselves into their routine.
The activities are organized by how much time you need, from 5 minutes all the way to a whole day. They range from gentle, quick mental resets like lighting candles or listening to a favorite song (5 minutes each) to longer activities such as giving yourself a facial or planning a date night (30 minutes each).
