Ep 070 - How to Make Time in your Busy Schedule to Bring More Joy into your Life

Today on Redefining Motherhood, as I recently returned from a refreshing weekend getaway with friends, it reminded me of the importance of self-care. It's so easy to get caught up in our daily routines of work, caring for our family, and other obligations that we neglect our own needs and happiness. During my trip, I realized how much joy simple pleasures, and quality time with others can bring. In this episode, I encourage you to reflect on how you spend your time and prioritize self-care.

An important first step is to take a look at your schedule and identify any gaps where you could make room for self-care activities. It's crucial to fill your own cup so that you can show up as your best self in all areas of life. I suggest making a list of things that genuinely bring you joy, peace or fulfillment - it could be anything from spending time in nature to bonding over a meal with friends.

My challenge to you is to look for small but intentional ways to schedule in the things that will bring you more joy, even if it's just once a week or a month. The key is proactively adding fulfilling experiences to your calendar rather than just squeezing them in if time allows.  

Life is short, so don't put off treating yourself with the happiness you deserve. I hope you will take the time to recharge and enjoy life's simple pleasures by regularly incorporating self-care into your busy schedules.
