Hobbies are those great outlets that keep every mother sane. Finding a hobby that is healthy and makes you happy can sometimes be a challenge but if you are able to give yourself at least some free time in the day to do something you enjoy, your stress level will reduce itself and your joy will increase. Some hobbies are meant to do with the children too and can also be a creative outlet for them too.
If you love to excercise but can't seem to find the time and have little ones, use a running stroller and get out and go! Take the dog for a walk with the kids, even the little things can make a big difference in joy and stress levels. Do a workout video a few times in the morning before the kids are up....It will have you pumped for the whole day. Try a workout class at the gym where there is daycare included. If your children are old enough, try a bike ride in the evening, helmets included of course.
Take the photography class you've been meaning to take, or what about the paint class you've been looking at for the past year? Now is the time while summer is hear!
If you love to read, start a neighborhood book club. Why find the books that Oprah is recommending, why not rely on your friends and yourself to see what you are interested in studying together and take the challenge. You are sure to feed off each others minds.
Get out there and go, What are you waiting for?
