When you come home from work, how do you revive yourself?

Question

If you come home from work and have a family, then how do you revive yourself in order to go from employee to parent? Where do you get the energy?

Answer 1

I make the most of my drive home. I play my favourite music, and I make sure to drink about a litre of water while I go home. I find it very relaxing, and the water hydrates me, which gives me more energy to get home and do the Mom stuff.

I also make sure I eat enough through the day. I snack on almonds and dried fruit. I avoid caffeine (after the morning coffee, lol) and make sure I have a good lunch that's high in fibre and protein, and low in refined carbs. That way, I try and prevent fatigue.

Answer 2

Set up a daily routine and tell the family this is "me" time.

Take a few minutes to relax, even in the bathroom. Go take a long slower. Change your clothes to something very comfortable, even if that is jammies. Or, just go in your bedroom and lay on the bed. No phone. No talk. Just close your eyes and think of your favorite place that is quiet and relaxing.

Again, make sure the family knows that you will be back in 15 minutes.
