Getting "Me" Time
Last updated on Jun 4, 2020 in CAR Autism Roadmap™
What do you do for yourself?
Once you are sure the children are safe and accounted for…. Relax and take some time for yourself.
Bowling night?
Lunch with a friend?
A quiet cup of coffee and thumbing through a magazine?
Next time the children are safely in school, or asleep, take a few minutes for you – to relax and take a breath. The dishes will wait, the dirty clothes will wait.
This is time for you to “relax” and re-center yourself. Don’t feel guilty; this is time you need to regroup and reenergize yourself. As Nike says: “JUST DO IT!”
