Make time For your children or if you don't have any children make sure to take some time for someone else's, because keep in mind that not everyone is paying attention to their kiddos. Kids need to feel special in order to thrive .
Take at least one hour a week to rejuvenate. This doesn't have to cost money. It can be a walk in the park or sit on a bench and read . Just smelling the fresh air can be a treat .
Go that extra mile once a week for your boss or if you work for yourself do it for you.

Allow your passions to motivate you.
