or take that stack of bills outside on the deck. When it\u2019s time to return to your indoor obligations, you\u2019ll have the memory of the warm sunshine to boost your spirits. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Class is in Session\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Signing up for a special interest class is a great way to commit to time off. Whether it\u2019s ceramics or gourmet cooking, learning something new can spark your creativity and create an opportunity to bond with new friends who share your interests. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
It\u2019s a Date<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before your calendar fills up, plot out a few time slots for yourself. Think of it like a regular appointment that you can\u2019t miss. If necessary, book a sitter and then schedule something fun like a massage, bike ride or dance class. Once it\u2019s on the calendar, it\u2019s a date!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Take Five<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t actually have time to leave your desk or interrupt errands, make it a point to go full stop for five minutes. Wherever you are, take a short break to breathe, stretch, take in your surroundings and reboot your brain. Even a short break can change the course of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Delegate<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whether you are at home or at the office, remember, it\u2019s okay to delegate. Asking family members to help out around the house and co-workers for assistance can free up valuable time you can use for yourself. Without a doubt, you are amazing and capable. But remember, you are not the only one who can accomplish time consuming chores. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
A Bath. Bubbles. And You.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the end of a long hard day, 15 minutes in the bath can wipe away a multitude of the day\u2019s dirt, literally and figuratively. Don\u2019t think of the bath as a luxury but rather as the perfect ending to a stressful, but productive day. It’s also a great way to slow you down and facilitate a peaceful night\u2019s sleep. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Taking time for you is not a frivolous indulgence. It is an important tool to keep you functioning at your best and capable of a more positive impact on the lives of those around you. And remember, if all of them are deserving of your time and attention, so are you!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Read More ><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[259],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-healthy-inspiration","dwtl normal"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4300"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10571,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4300\/revisions\/10571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
