Taking my time.
I work long hours, which then makes my chores at home back up. On top of it trying to do everything for the family while spending time with my family. Juggling life can get hard and be very stressful. I try to take one day at a time and not let my stress or honey to do list overwhelm me. The funny thing is sometimes we cause the stress ourselves. For example, my honey to do list is a list that I made for the things I want done or upgraded around the house. I try to take a weekend or at least a couple days out each month to reduce stress and gain more happiness in life. While I like doing things around the house and crossing off things on my honey to do list, sometimes I need more than that. I need to spend time with my family or sit and relax for a day. Life is short, don’t waste it away working or stressing out over everything.
