You only have so much energy. I challenge you to realistically quantify your energy and ration it to last for the long haul! Happy Dance Party Friday! See you next week!

TRANSCRIPT
As we wrap up this week you may be feeling really overwhelmed and tired. I am at the point where I’m asking myself how much longer can I handle this? How much longer will I be stuck not going anywhere and not seeing anyone? Its so hard to keep going when you don’t know when it will end. Especially since we may be in this for a longer time than expected my quick tip is this: ration your energy. You have so many demands right now, kids, job, housework, spouse, self care… and you can not do it all. Take some time this weekend to recharge by planning something for each family member that you wouldn’t normally do. For us that’s going to be a water balloon session for my 4 year old, a paint with your body session for my almost 2 year old, some no-kids-bothering you video game time for my husband and a bubble bath for me. I’ll let you know next week if any of those actually happen.

I challenge you to realistically quantify your energy and ration it and whenever possible recharge. Now get your family together or just jam out by yourself because its dance party Friday!
