Add a little fun and relaxation to your week. Choose one of these fun ideas for each day and actually schedule it in. Or make some up and share them in comments. Make sure you actually do one each day. You’ll be amazed how much lighter in spirit you feel at the end of the week. 

Are you so busy doing for everyone else that you’ve forgotten that you’re a person too? You know what they say in the safety talk on the airlines ... put your own mask on first!
