How to use your free time to refresh your mind

"Life is all about balance. You don't always need to be getting stuff done. Sometimes it's perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary, to shut down, kickback, and do nothing." Lori Deschene




It can sometimes feel that we have a lot on our plate and we must get everything done. Yes, the things we do in our daily lives are important.  Especially our role as parents, but what is also important is not getting burnt out and mentally fatigued.  Therefore, it is imperative that we make free time a priority in order to keep our sanity and live happier and more fulfilled lives. Here are some ways we can use our free time.








1.Enjoy Nature




Enjoy natures gifts by going to the beach, go hiking, snorkeling, sight seeing whatever there is to do in your area that will help you simply enjoy mother Earth's beauty and help relax your mind.






2. Do a project




Why not do that little project you wanted to do for a long time, like making a flower garden, learning to crochet, writing an e book, trying out that new recipe you saw on Pinterest, there are so much more you can delve into.
 Learning new things changes your perspective on life and sometimes that is just what you need to look at and change how you do things.





3. Do absolutely Nothing




If we seat back and let our minds wonder, we will be amazed by the big creative ideas that we will come up with. Sometimes when we just let go, we create effective systems that make our lives more convenient.




4.Volunteerism/ Community service




Being of service to others can be a very rewarding experience and sometimes if we take the time off to help someone in need, we will be more appreciative of our own blessings and realize how insignificant our complaints can be.




5.Sleep




As individual, we tend to have so much to do in limited time, that the only thing we can sacrifice is sleep. While I believe that the healthier option is to maintain a consistent sleeping routine that will help your body rejuvenate it self,  sometimes that simple act just do not happen, so use this time to catch up on well needed sleep.




6.Get inspired


Pray, meditate, read self development books or even listen to some TED Talks. Opening our minds to different teachings can only help us grow in to better human beings.

About me...A busy mom, Wife....Life

Being a mom, wife, student or an employee are all difficult roles on their own, but being a woman sometimes you have to wear all four caps.

I perform all these roles and between you and me it is not easy. Because I am sure you will understand that  Some days I am overwhelmed, other days  frustrated and still at times fatigued, but I must say nothing is more satisfying to me in the world than knowing, that I am  helping to inspire, motivate and  raise two smart, disciplined beautiful girls who will, one day, leave a positive mark on the world.

Being a supportive, loving wife to an incredible man with whom I am blessed to share my life with and one who encourages me to dream bigger and strive to be more, want more and love more.

I am also blessed to have a job which not only pay the bills but also allows me to meet incredible people every day.

As a student I am also blessed to have the opportunity to learn and strive for more so that I can  be an inspiration to my girls, Hubby and people around me.

In conclusion, life is difficult, and I do not expect it to be perfect. Therefore, I  plan to share my ideas and tips that will help us live a happier, more satisfied and fulfilled life. At the same time, ensuring that we  enjoy what we do, while we do it and hopefully be an inspiration to each other. Thank you and  I appreciate that you took the time to read my blog.
