Sometimes, the only place for a busy parent to escape to is the bathroom. You find your most relaxation with a face mask on and a tub full of bubbles -- maybe even with a few drops of essential oils for good measure.
Your favorite way to take a step back from harsh realities is to lose yourself between the pages of a novel. It doesn't matter where you are or what's going on -- once you crack open a book, you're anywhere you want to be.
Safely, of course! Getting some fresh air clears your mind in a way not much else does, so anytime you get to feel a breeze through your hair or the sun on your face, it's good by you.
You best come to terms with your feelings when they're written down. Scribbling down anything that pops into your head helps you process everything that's going on and brings you a sense of peace.
Or any show, really. Mindless reality television, "Friends" re-runs, a cooking or home improvement competition -- anything that takes your mind off a shrieking child or the fact that you're on your third day in a row with the same sweatpants on.
Sure, you want to stay as healthy as possible to keep your body and mind sharp for all the turmoil it's going through, but you also feel so much better after digging into a baked mac 'n' cheese or a big, greasy pizza every now and then.
Spending some time with just your breath really helps you refocus and remember that sometimes the most basic things in life are the most important. A deep, cleansing breath or a long vinyasa flow eases your mind.
The focus and routine of baking really settles you down. Everything seems just a little bit better when you have a cookie in your hand.
Even if you can't go out and make your bucket list happen right now, building a mood board and seeing it all laid out before you gives you something to look forward to and helps you remember that brighter days lie ahead.
Anything from a jog around the block to a high-intensity interval training session gets your endorphins pumping and makes you feel alive -- the perfect antidote when you're feeling down.
From physically learning to play a new instrument or revisiting some old talents to plugging headphones in and blasting some new tunes, music heals the soul.
The best way for you to manifest the decluttering of your brain is to declutter your surroundings. Tackling a junk drawer or donating old sheets and towels that you never use helps you feel reenergized and motivated.
