Quotes to ponder:

"You don’t want to find yourself stealing the time. You want to build it into your family’s day."

"Create a physical space in your life for the thing you love to do, and you’re more likely to actually do it, even if that thing is 'spend 10 minutes alone.'"

"Ultimately, what’s good for your own mental health is also good for your children."
