When you are at home, it is important to cut out some of the stuff and stress from work and take care of yourself. If you are always tense from work and your other obligations, it is hard to feel good about yourself. You never relax so the problem will just get worse. A better option to use is to work through self-care when you are at home.

Self-care means taking time away to take care of just yourself. Give up on the work, do not worry about the messy house, and even take a break from the spouse and kids. This time is just for you to recharge and feel better. It can be hard to do when there are a million things to get done. But with some hard work and scheduling the time into your day (with hard rules that no one can interrupt you), you will find that it can do wonders.

What you do for self-care can vary based on what seems to work the best for you. Each person is going to respond to a different task to help you relax. While some people may love to relax with a good book, others like to go out and enjoy some fresh air on a nature walk. If you are stuck on some ideas of what to do for self-care, some steps to use include:

• ● Read a book: Even one chapter a day can make a difference and will help get rid of all your troubles.
  
• ● Get fresh air: A walk around the block or even a nice nature hike can nourish your soul.
  
• ● Rock out: Pick a loud song and use it to drown out all the other noise.
  
• ● Laugh: Find something that will make you laugh and enjoy that for a bit.
  
• ● Maintain a regular workout schedule: Pick out an activity you enjoy, whether it is walking or something online, and do something good for your body.
  
• ● Eat a healthy meal by yourself; Having a few minutes by yourself will make a world of difference.
  
• ● Turn off the phone; Our phones are causing us a good deal of anxiety all the time. Figure out how to silence the phone and see what a difference it can make.
  
• ● Get to coloring: Adult coloring has seen a big increase in recent years because it is a good way to relax and do something fun.

If there is something that you really like to do that seems to relax, then add that to your schedule. You deserve a chance to relax and enjoy the life around you. And when you can make that happen, you will see that a lot of your stress and anxiety will start to go away, making imposter syndrome less prevalent in your life.
