For busy moms, time is important. There are moments when you don’t get enough of it especially if you have so much work to do at home. Priorities like work, family, and kids take most of your time, and having a pause for yourself is usually at the bottom of the list.

But do you know that it would do more harm to you if you don’t take some time for yourself? There’s stress, burnout, and even illness you might get if you aren’t giving yourself a break to get what you need. To pave way for a few minutes of self-care, here are some tips that might help.

1. Give your brain a much-needed boost by doing the things you love. Meditate for a minute then proceed to read a good book or do crossword puzzles.

2. Give time to pamper yourself. Go ahead and try to sneak a nap, or give yourself a 5 minute facial at home or just simply relax in a hot bath.

3. Find time to catch up with friends using video-conferencing apps and have a virtual date.

4. Try to hone your cooking skills by coming up with new and different recipes or you can take online classes to learn more.

5. Finally, find a space where you can simply unwind and find comfort. A go-to relaxing spot in your own house just drinking your favorite tea.
