Often we get so wrapped up in our daily activities (work, household chores, family commitments, etc…) and meeting the needs of others that we neglect to take care of ourselves.  It is important to "preserve prime time" each day in order to maintain a healthy balance.  It does not need to be long, 20 minutes a day is all it takes.

 Some ways to enjoy this "Prime Time" are:

 

*     Go for a walk

*     Take a bubble bath

*     Read a book for pleasure

*     Write in a journal

*     Draw or paint

*     Exercise

*     Meditate

 

You can also call your employee assistance program to help find ways to simplify your life.  All of our services are entirely confidential and free of charge.  Call 314-729-4030 for a consultation.  Or you can log onto our website at www.bjceap.org.
