Staycation Strategies
Time Out
As a working mom, some days I think there just isn’t enough time to get
everything done. It’s so easy to lose sight of the importance of taking
care of yourself and your relationships. So what can you do to manage
stress and relax, even for just a little bit, every day? Try these ideas
and give yourself a time out today—from special moments alone, to time
with your family or friends, and even developing your faith—you deserve
it!
Out With the Old, In With the New
As another year closes and a fresh year begins, I find myself
reflecting on that old adage, “Out with the old, in with the new.” I
believe that it is incredibly worthwhile to regularly ask what we want
to do away with and what we want to do new or differently. Consider the
alterations not necessarily in a “New Year’s resolutions” way, but more
of a life-transforming way.
13 Strategies To Survive & Thrive This Holiday Season
Every year as the holiday season approaches and often becomes
all-consuming, I can’t help but wonder if it has gotten a little out of
hand. The pressure on all of us, especially women, to make every
occasion picture perfect can be overwhelming. Instead, keep the focus
on the true meaning of the season as you consider what you love about
the holidays and what traditions you would like to keep or what new
ones you would like to start. The holidays begin and end at home, so
make yours the center of peace, love and joy for your family and all
those who enter it.
