Relaxation techniques for our busy Birney families
Nobody is perfect. When you lose your sense of humor..Pause, Breathe, Finish Up!
Then...
Take a break. Throw a ball. Cool down. Share a hug. Talk it out. Love your pet. Take a nap..
So...
Put away your long to-do list. If you got one thing done today, that's good enough. If your child made it to school, had a healthy meal, and a got a smile or a hug before you said "goodbye", then you've done a great job!
Good Enough is Good Enough.
