“Time is on my side – yes it is.” I know I
find it difficult to find a bit of “me-time” each day. Between work and
family, many women put their own needs aside and forget about a little TLC for
themselves. This can lead to too much
stress and ultimately
burn-out. It is important for us to
take care of ourselves as much as we take care of our spouses and children.
Take a quick walk on your own to clear your head, drink a hot cup of tea or
cuddle up with a book for a few quiet moments by yourself. Things can wait a
few moments while you take a breather. You and your family will notice the difference in the calmer, more
focused you!
Here are a few articles I think you will find helpful to reduce the stress in
your life:

the life you desire
*

Please let us know your tips for de-stressing on the Team board.

Hungry Girl
Lisa Lillien considers herself a foodologist. Not because she has a fancy
degree, but because she is obsessed with food. Nothing gives her a thrill like
discovering a low-cal snack or assembling a fat-free pizza! She's struggled
with weight issues for most of her life, but food is her passion and lifelong
obsession.
