Follow me on Twitter I need to learn to relax!
As simple and stupid it may sound, this is my new year resolution. My goal this year is to relax for 15 minutes everyday. I may listen to music; read a book; do some stretching, etc. Well, it may sound easy to a lot of people, it is certainly not easy for me. My mind is on the go all the time – what to do next, what activity I can squeeze-in in 10 minutes, how much I can read on a 15-minute MTR journey…this list is endless. As well, I am always on the go, physically – taking the boys to schools, to their lessons, going to my classes, running errands for the family…again, this list is endless. I don’t even time to take a hot bath and a proper facial treatment – can’t even remember when was the last time I did either of these.
You may ask: why don’t you take a 15-minute rest before going to bed. Unfortunately, that’s not an option. I stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning working on my stuff, then make sure boys are sleeping well, then hop into my bed and pass out! I don’t even have a moment to unwind.
So, my goal is simple, but daunting to me – relax/unwind for 15 minutes a day!
To all the busy mommies out there – may the force be with you!!!
