Recharge

Take another 30-minute “me moment”

Daily Devotional

— Mark 6:31 (NIV) —

“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

HELPFUL TIP

Make it about you. Squeezing in time for yourself to relax is good for your mind, body and spirit. Take yourself out to lunch, catch up with a good friend, or take a guilt-free nap today!

Take time for “me Time”

Husband or wife, mom or dad, the demands on your time can be overwhelming. But even if there’s no end to your to-do list, securing some time for yourself is a must.

Make your health a priority

As important as it is to take “me moments,” it’s also just as important for men and women to make time for their health! Take a health quiz to learn more.
