Make Time for Yourself
Every evening, give yourself some private time. Set aside at least 30 minutes a day to relax, exercise, cry, laugh, write in a journal, pray or read your Bible. Let your child know this is your time and you are not to be interrupted. Make sure young children are in a safe place with safe activities if they are not already in bed. (You may want to wait until bedtime to assure it will be quiet and no telephone calls to disrupt your time.) Just make sure you allow time to focus on you and improving yourself. I found the best time is to get up earlier in the mornings before anyone else is up and the phone is not ringing.
