The Necessary Day Off – Time to Relax and Recharge
Katja: While my motto is to live every day to the fullest and do every day, every minute, what you love, I understand it is not possible in the modern world for everyone. My friend Claire reminded me of that and she suggests – take at least one day or week, or one day a month, “steal” time from your hectic life, and relax. This is her guest post of today giving you tips how you can do it! Guest post by Claire Adams Williams

If it were legal, I would copy and paste this into both of my blogs! ;) I think this is such an important message for all of us. So often as moms we run ourselves ragged caring for others, but take little to no time for ourselves, which in turn makes us less able to care for our children in a positive, productive, nurturing way let alone make a difference or give back in our own communities.
I think giving ourselves permission to breathe and take time for ourselves equips us to be better moms as well as perform better in every role we play in our lives. Also, I don’t think this only applies to when we feel that we have the “luxury” to do it. In the midst of challenges, struggles, etc., it is almost more important that we do this.
I love this post!!!
