1.     Prioritize – Plan your week. Be sure to schedule in some time for yourself and take it!

2.     Say NO – It’s really ok to say no sometimes, so practice saying, “I’m sorry, but I can’t.”

3.     Delegate – Ask for help and treat those who help you well. If you can’t find help, pay for it.

4.     Turn it off – Take a break from your computer, your cell phone and the news.

5.     Relax – Find out what makes you truly relax and then do more of that!

6.     Give yourself permission, not guilt – You deserve to enjoy a beautiful afternoon, so don’t just stop and smell the flowers…. visit a garden!

7.     Take a little time each day – Take 5 minutes a day just to listen to a song you love or dance around the room.

8.     Find value – Spend your “me” time doing something you are truly passionate about.

9.     Get creative – Engage in something creative and express yourself.

10.  Reconnect – Do more of the things that make you feel like you!
