I mean when we are feeling down we should serve others right?&#8221; I laugh now, when I think back at that time in my life.<br \/>\nIt is 11:51 pm. I&#8217;m exhausted. I spent the day homeschooling my two children, trying new recipies out on my DH. Hoping he might find some joy in our new &#8220;Fair Wheathered Vegitarian&#8221; lifestyle, And cleaning the house for company. The thought of writing this down would be overwhelming if I didn&#8217;t have the notes I took from an enrichment night months ago. Here are some ways you can give back to yourself so you can be prepared for the long hours of giving to others.<br \/>\n1. Simplify<br \/>\n-Have realistic expectations of yourself, realize that somedays you will conquer the world and others, your lucky if you get fully dressed that day.<br \/>\n-Get organized<br \/>\n-de-clutter even if it is just 10 minutes a day, you will notice so much difference and feel lighter and less overwhelmed.<br \/>\n&#8211; Don&#8217;t over schedule yourself or your kids<br \/>\n2. Utilize Instant Pick Me Ups<br \/>\n-Get dressed &#8211; no sweatpants<br \/>\n-do your hair<br \/>\n-paint your nails<br \/>\n-take a shower or bubble bath<br \/>\n-turn on some uplifting music<br \/>\n3. Get Enough Sleep<br \/>\n-take power naps<br \/>\n-go to bed early every once in a while<br \/>\n4. Exercise<br \/>\n-Clean house with more energy than usual<br \/>\n-take your kids for a walk<br \/>\n-play take or hide and seek<br \/>\nThere are many more ideas on my notes. After Enrichment night was over they handed out a nail file with the words &#8220;File away a little time for yourself&#8221; tied to it.
