Don't forget to take care of yourself. Our inclination as mothers is to care for our children, husband, friends and

colleagues...which leaves no time to take care of ourselves! Eat right, exercise, get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water.

When you feel good, you'll be better equipped to deal with your hectic schedule. And when you're not feeling your best, you're

much more likely to feel overwhelmed.

Say "no" to the less important things. Sure, it would be nice to have a spotless house, be the president of the PTA, bake

homemade bread, volunteer at the local hospital, get a raise and promotion at work, and spend time helping in your child's

classroom. But, of course, it's not realistic to accomplish all of these things. Decide what's most important and do that.

Delegate what you can to a nanny or a spouse. And don't worry about the rest.
