Consider these quick and simple ways to take care of YOU.  To recharge your batteries.  To remind yourself what you enjoy in life.  To take time to be you as a person outside of your role of parent/caretaker, employer, household manager, etc.

  1. Take a hot (or cold) shower.
  2. Crank up the radio and jam to your favorite music while driving solo in the car.
  3. Choose a book and read a chapter a day.
  4. Learn a new hobby -- it doesn't have to be extravagant or all encompassing.  Maybe you take a once a week class, or learn to crochet.  
  5. Go for a walk.
  6. Revisit a hobby you once loved.  You can even share it with your family sometimes! 
  7. Color a picture.  Adult coloring books are amazing stress relievers!
  8. Set your alarm for 15 minutes earlier in the morning.  Use that time to relax and slowly start your day instead of rushing through the morning.
  9. Go out to lunch, even if it's by yourself, and enjoy slowly eating a meal.  
  10. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
  11. Set your phone on silent/do not disturb during certain times of the day, for example at dinner time or at bedtime.
  12. Make a new playlist that you can listen to while driving, cleaning the house, etc.
  13. Tell yourself 3-5 positive things that happened this week.
  14. Catch up with a friend over the phone -- don't talk about anything that is stressing either of you out, just enjoy conversation as friends.
  15. Look up inspirational quotes and choose one to be your motto for the week or the month.  
  16. Enjoy a cup of coffee -- or tea -- or hot cocoa.  
  17. Put on a pair of fuzzy socks or fuzzy pajamas.
  18. Write in a journal.
  19. Give yourself grace for things that didn't get crossed off your "to do" list today.
  20. Order dinner.  It's OK to let a restaurant do the work for you to give yourself a break!
