Take a little Me Time every day
Me Time isn’t only about lazy Sundays spent lounging in bed. On the contrary, you’ll want to take at least 15 to 20 minutes each day to yourself, says health psychologist Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D. That could mean anything from waking up a few minutes early to read for pleasure or penciling in time for a brief journaling session every afternoon. You might even schedule several short walking breaks throughout the day to focus on how you feel.
