the dark, please take a minute to realize that you are making a

| Things to Try | |
|
Count your blessings. Pay someone else a complement. Eat fruit. Break your routine ... do something differently. Write a note to a friend to recognize the little things like ... their child's first tooth or having fun at a recent playgroup. Keep a daily gratitude journal. - Focus only on the good things that happened that day. Bake some cookies! (Bonus: Share with friends.) Rearrange something - your kitchen cabinets, medicine cabinet or kids bedroom. Stretch!!! Try to name all of the people you have met in the twins club. You have a special bond with each and every one. Take a hot bath ... make time! Drink more water. Play with your kids ... be a kid too. Get out the crayons ... have fun! Work on cleaning one spot at a time. Set your goals according to your schedule - plan goals that can be accomplished in 15 minutes. Write a list of what you would like to do for the day. Cross things off all day long. It's OK to add things like "make breakfast", "take a shower" and "dress the kids" it all takes time. Open the curtains - a little sunlight goes a long way. Change your clothes ... don't linger in your PJ's after breakfast, unless you're sick. Take your vitamins. It's OK to shut off your ringers ... you need downtime too. Add some fresh lemon to your water. Do anything that makes you laugh.
Have an ice cream cone.
Go for a walk. Dress for the
weather ... put everyone in the stroller or wagon and just go. |
