Me Time!

What does ME time look like for you?

Maybe it is the picturesque spa day, or a day or night away from the kids.

For me that just isn't reality. I need to find small times for me and I need to do it everyday.

Things that I love include finding time to workout alone! This one doesn't happen everyday. Some days, I embrace working out with kids around me. And I remind myself, it is okay. Doing something is better than nothing that day. Bonus, sometimes my kids like joining in or looking at themselves on the video when it is live streaming! HAHA! But it also reinforces the healthy habit of working out.

Working out also helps with my community and socialization. Even before kids, I had been basically alone going to a gym, and that was my place for some socialization outside of work and to give me a break from that part of my life.

Sometimes ME time is washing dishes. I know, might not sound so great, but it is a great feeling to get the dishes and sink clean. I do really hate doing it most days!

Sometimes it is drinking a cup of coffee alone and working on my website, or even early morning time alone - sitting on the floor with my computer.

It really can be the small things in small pockets of time. I have learned to focus on those little moments. Those little moments help with survival and overall happiness for me.
