With today’s busy pace, you can all too easily forget how to recharge your batteries. Yet, it’s important for your health, well-being and creativity to take time out to relax and find some “me” time. Taking time out for yourself is a luxury––it’s a necessity. Most particularly, it is an important part of keeping your stress levels at bay.

Here are some ideas for things you can do to give yourself a break:

• Go to the park or for a walk on your lunch break
• Listen to music
• Read a book or magazine
• Watch a film or favourite TV show
• Take a relaxing bath
• Do something creative (write, draw, cook, sew)
• Meditate
• Spend five minutes before bed thinking positive thoughts
• Get up early and write down something you are looking forward to
• Have a coffee in your garden
• Exercise
• Pamper yourself

Now, try to find your “Me Time”!
