We both like reading. Often cooking or meal prep is relaxing...the clean up part not so much! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1464405 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 16:07:37 +0000 HolisticMama 1464405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I should really try this alone time on for size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1464195 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 15:10:17 +0000 fancyfunction 1464195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I unwind and relax by sitting down with a cup of coffee or tea, light a candle and read a book or magazine- or watch Bravo. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1464121 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:38:26 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1464121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need alone time. I'll read, watch trashy tv, or go to Starbucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1464084 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:28:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 1464084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My revamp time is a hot bubble bath while watching Parenthood on Netflix of reading a book. 45 minutes of just me time while soaking really helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1464042 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:18:00 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1464042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need alone time, and lots of it! Whether it's going for a run alone, curling up with a book, listening to music, sitting at a coffee shop, blogging, whatever... I just want quiet time by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1463978 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:08:00 +0000 HolisticMama 1463978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anyajenkins: So true. I just need to stay on top if it. When I'm drained- I feel like housework is hopeless. </p> <p>My DH traded in our dyson last week for a Riccar last week. The carpets practically looked new! And that really helped with my mental health. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1463968 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:06:41 +0000 Anya 1463968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaning/ organizing. If I can wake up in an immaculate house, I feel like a new person </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1463908 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:54:16 +0000 HolisticMama 1463908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I think I need to start carving out recharging time, as well.<br /> I found myself in a place last week where I felt completely and utterly depleted and didn't know what to do about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1463904 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:53:29 +0000 snowjewelz 1463904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 - Avoid people! I am an introvert so being around people (even if it's good company and for fun) will drain my energy</p> <p>#2 - Carve out time to do what I like! This has taken some time for me b/c I always feel like I need to be doing something, or completing something. But it's SO liberating when I say no to do something on a Fri night and stay in to wash trash tv all night. Or say it's okay to skip cleaning on a Sat (provided the house is not that bad), and just stroll around shops, or do my nails, or do something that I always wish I had time for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1463897 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:52:12 +0000 pui 1463897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I need at least an hour a day to just "recharge". I usually sit in bed and read. As for re-energizing, a little bit of exercise works! Just a short walk really makes me feel much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge#post-1463881 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:50:02 +0000 HolisticMama 1463881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When life starts to become a bit overwhelming and you begin to feel slightly depleted- How do you recharge? How do you re-energize? </p>
