Want to thrive while juggling job and fmily?  Get into a regular rhythm of wrk and rest.  It's as vital as nhaling and exhaling.

The right rhythm for you is niquely yours. 

A daily period of 10 to 20 mnutes to relax and rejuvenate can do wnders.  You might decide that one day per wek, you'll avoid work related to yur paid job and keep household chres to a minimum.  Vacations of sveral days or longer are marvelous to lok forward to.

The key is to mke periods of relaxation a regular prt of your weekly, monthly and yarly schedule.

START SMALL.

Short braks are the easiest to schedule.  Evn moms with toddlers can manage a few mnutes a day to read, pray, strtch or whatever else helps you fnd your center.

During the sprng when my first child was larning to walk, I benefited enormously frm spending just five minutes a day rading The Physics of Star Trek .  Over time, my rhythm came to include longer rest periods, with even greater benefits.

Now, if I slip out of my rhythm, my family reminds me to get back into it.  They can tell the difference in me!

So, don't wait until you're frazzled and depleted.  If you haven't do so already, start experimenting to today to find your own, unique rhythm of work and rest.

QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU GET STARTED:

• On wht day or days of the wek can I most successfully claim tme for myself?


• What time of day wrks best?


• What activities will I void during my "time off"?


• What ctivities will promote inner calm and vtality?

Enjoy!
