I know things have been tough all around. I want to remind you all to take a moment each day to just breathe and unwind. Take a moment for yourself and just be. The worries will be there later.

  3. I like to just take a moment to read for at least 30 minutes a day in my corner chair. That gives me a bit of an escape!

  6. I will read at the end of the day or I will knit as I am watching a tv show or I go for a walk for about 20 minutes.

    • I’ve had my entire career stripped, so been practicing with different genres than southern gospel. I have used music therapy to keep me sane.

  9. I have been super stressed because I’m being retaliated against for reporting fire code violations. I’ve been spending some time with my family bible and having some time alone with God, to help me get through this as a senior not very brave.

  14. In these busy times, I take a moment by reading a chapter of a book with a cup of coffee or tea. Thanks for the giveaway!

  18. I like to keep busy on the computer, watching a movie, cooking or cleaning to keep my mind busy during these crazy crazy crazy times.

  22. I’m retired so I enjoy all the time to myself (that I longed for) – and I took up a new hobby: bird watching. I’ve discovered many parks as a result

  32. Today I took a moment for myself by sitting at my patio table with a cup of coffee, and a random neighborhood cat came by to keep me company. Very relaxing!

  33. I like to read webcomics even though I should probably be reading books, but it’s something I do solely for my own enjoyment and not because of any intellectual benefit.

  35. Since we added a screened-in porch this summer, I love to sit out there with my cup of coffee. I either have a fan or a heater on depending on the morning weather. It’s very relaxing.

  37. My mindfulness comes on the weekends where i take some time to watch a movie or read a book…

  52. I drink my afternoon coffee at 5 PM while I read a little. Every day. My people know not to bother me while this is happening. 🙂

  54. I take a moment for myself by planting & growing floers and veges, it’s so therapeutic.

  59. I have been making sure I get atleast 30 minutes to watch a show or something after kids go to sleep at night.

  63. I take a moment for myself after my daughter goes to bed and before my husband gets home from work, a hot bath, some Netflix, and the candy bar I hid all give me a quiet moment focused on doing nothing. I look forward to it every afternoon!

  64. My times are not busy these days. They used to be with singing and volunteering and meeting with friends. I always take time to read.
    Thanks for the contest.

  65. I cook dinner, clean up the kitchen and I go to my room. My family knows that for 30 minutes I get to do my thing! It works!

  66. Thank you for the giveaway. I take a moment for myself each morning with a cup of coffee or tea. I sit alone and look through my phone or sit outside and enjoy some fresh air.

  72. I like to sit on the patio and listen to music and work on some hard word puzzles from Games Magazine.

  77. I enter these giveaways for myself and to give things to my sisters/nieces/my great nieces and great nephew /and the rest of my family. 🙂

  78. I take time for myself by having girls day with my sister and my nieces and we do whatever we want we all take turns picking out what everyone says s going to do for girls day.

  80. My moment for myself is my commute to work. It amounts to almost two hours per day. I listen to one of my favorite podcasts or to some of my favorite music.

  81. Sometimes when I need time to myself I sit out on the back porch with my plants and take a deep breath and just count everything that I’m grateful for.

  83. I spend a few minutes just sitting in the car after dropping the kids off at school. It’s just a little alone time to clear my head and mentally prepare for the day.

  85. I start my day with a cup of coffee and some quiet meditation and prayer time in the morning. Without that I don’t feel ‘together’ for the day

  89. My “moment” is when I sit with my cup of tea first thing in the morning. That’s just me in my own little world before I start to let real life in.

  90. I try to make time everyday for self-care activities. It has been so important for my mental health.

  96. I have been on relying on TV, iPad, Prayers and Snacks (TIPS) Thanks for the giveaway!

  98. I’ve been sick for awhile, so I have been taking the time for myself to relax, de-stress and trying to get some relaxation techniques to help me with this. Stress is unfortunately taking its toll on my health and I need to work on wellness now.

  100. I soak in a hot tub for about 10 minutes in the evening to unwind and relax my body and mind! It;s not much but its soothing

  102. I wake up a bit earlier for some time to snuggle with my cat before work and a few nights a week draw a hot bath!

  108. We’ve been in since 3/13 I just love watching old movies with a cup of tea or coffee.

  111. I tend to relax more when my boyfriend comes over around 4:30/5 we just relax and play a few games on our phone, or I go and get a massage locally around me.

  112. I wake up earlier these days to get my workout in. I used to avoid it but I’ve been appreciating the alone time and am happy I’ve been keeping this healthy habit.

  113. Every time my cat asks for attention I try to be “there in the moment.” That means appreciating the simple pleasure of petting a sweet kitten who is just asking for a little love and attention, whether rubbing him or playing “go fish” with his toys.

  115. It’s important to take a moment out of my day and just say a prayer, or declare my gratitude. It soothes me and helps me carry on.

  125. Listen to music and sing at the top of my lungs while getting ready for work. Doesn’t sound great but it’s fun.

  127. This is how I take a moment. And its still not for me. This is to save money. Money I save goes right back to my family.

  129. i WAS SUBBED TO YOUR BLOG BUT HAVE NOT GOT A SINGLE EMAIL IN A COUPLE MONTHS- DID YOU QUIT SENDING THEM??
