This is a sponsored post but all thoughts are my own.
When I started this blog back in 2008, one of it’s main purposes was to give me a creative outlet and a way to make time for myself. I had just become a mom and spent my days alone with my baby so I needed someone to talk to and my blog connected me with other moms, something I so desperately was looking for. Over the years my blog has turned into something more so I started looking for other ways to make time for myself.
Since I’m now a busy mom with two school-aged boys and a business that keeps me busy, my time is limited. Usually my “me” time is confined to 15 minute or half hour time frames. Because of this, I’ve had to come up with a list of things I can do in short periods of time and I wanted to share a month’s worth of those ideas with you all because I know all moms can use a break right about now.
30 things you can do with 30 minutes of “me” time
1) Take a nap
2) Read a magazine
3) Watch your favorite TV show
4) Take a bath
5) Go for a bike ride
6) Paint your nails
7) Write in a journal
8) Walk the aisles of your favorite store
9) Take an uninterrupted shower
10) Call a friend and talk
11) Plan your goals for next year
12) Start a new hobby
13) Dance around to your favorite music
14) Give yourself a facial
15)Â Color in an adult coloring book
16) Do absolutely nothing….
17) Go for a walk outside
18) Watch the sunrise or sunset
19) Look at pictures and make a photo book
20) Do a quick DIY project (like this one)
21) Work on a puzzle
22) Meditate
23)Â Read a couple chapters of a book
24) Write a letter or email to a loved one
25) Plant an herb garden or pot of indoor flowers
26) Start planning your next vacation
27) Exercise
28) Watch cute cat videos on YouTube
29) Listen to music

Greek Gods – Seriously Indulgent Giveaway
What’s your favorite thing to do during your “me” time?
Take a nap is always at the top of my list too! Except they end up turning into a lot more than 30 minutes…
I just tried the Greek Gods for the first time, I was very impressed. Great flavor options and it was delicious.
The Greek yogurt sounds yummy! I’m a huge Greek yogurt fan. Eating it on “me” time is perfect so I don’t have to share with the kids….or husband!
I’ve been trying to squeeze a little more “me time” into my day, and yogurt is my absolute favorite snack.
I need more me time. I’m always down for a favorite show or cute cat videos, as well as a yummy snack.
I really need to implement these 30 minute me time suggestions in my life. I be so worn out after a long day of blogging, this will soon change because I’m making a point to enjoy me some me time very soon! Great Post and yes, I love Greek yogurt …lol
It’s so important to prioritize time for yourself, even if it’s only for half an hour a day. Those 30 minutes honestly go such a long way. I love these ideas! I’m a big fan of baths and adult coloring books.
