During the rush of everyday life, we often neglect our own basic needs. It's common for parents, in particular, to feel exhausted or burnt out, and when we raise this issue with friends we often hear "don't neglect your self-care" or "have you tried meditation or yoga?". That's fair advice, but the problem remains: there's simply no time.
