Designing a passionate life requires that you take a break and relax. Part of living passionately means that you create space in your life to relax and enjoy life. In your very busy life and schedule it is easy to fall into the mode of, I'll take a break after I finish this report, phone call, or email. Before you know it, time has gone by and you've made no room for yourself to relax and replenish your energy.

How to Recognize When to Take a Break
When you feel as if you don't have time to take a break, is exactly the time when you need one. It's time to replenish your body, mind, and spirit. Does your body need exercise or rest? Are you feeding it healthy food? Does your mind need to space out, do nothing, or engage in something you absolutely love? Do your feel connected to the core of who you are? If not, what can you do to bring that connection back? How connected do you feel to your family and friends?

If you don't stop and take a break, eventually you'll stress out and your body will rebel and you will become ill. That is not the break that you need. Take a break when you are healthy and can truly enjoy it.

Take inventory right now. How does your body feel? How does your mind feel? How does your spirit feel? Even the smallest of breaks can help keep you functioning at your full capacity. Are you honoring a passion that may include rest, relaxation, and recreation?

Ways to Take a Break
The first thing to do in order to figure out what kind of break you need is to look at your passions. If one of them is to read a good book for hours on end, when is the last time you have done that? If you love nature, when is the last time you've been out in nature? If you love to spend creative time with your hobby, when is the last time you've done that? Start by asking yourself "What would replenish my body, mind, and spirit right now? Here are some ideas for replenishing your energy:

• Take a walk
• Go biking
• Play golf
• Spend time with your pet
• Spend time in nature
• Get lots of sleep
• Read a good book
• Watch your favorite movie
• Go to an event that supports your hobby
• Spend time with your children
• Spend time with your spouse/partner
• Sit quietly
• Write in your journal
• Read to your children
• Cooking

The ways to replenish your energy are endless. It's up to you to be aware of when you need to take a break, know what replenishes you and commit to yourself to do so. A passionate life includes every aspect of your life functioning at capacity. In order to follow your passions, you must take care of yourself.

Any parent knows that trying to find time, let alone the energy to spend some romantic time together is very difficult. As much as you love your children, to keep your relationship healthy, sometimes you just need to get away alone. Nothing is worse than being in the middle of time together and hearing a little voice from the doorway asking for a drink of water.

Because you have children, you need to put a little more thought and planning into your time alone. You can still be spontaneous, but it may be interrupted. It is best to remove that potential from the equation.

Babysitters are a quick and easy fix. The teenager next door can come over, and you and your spouse can go out on a nice date. However, when you get home, you haven't really helped with the next step. Of course you may have rekindled something, but the end of the date may be the end of the magic.

Instead, try to find a friend or family member who will not only babysit, but babysit at their house. Overnight! By forgetting that you are a parent for one night, you can bring back the passion you experienced when you first started dating.

If you belong to a play group and you are close to a few of the other parents, maybe plan something with them. Swap nights out. This way, you don't have to pay for a sitter, and you know your child is having fun.

If you don't have anyway to have your child stay at another house for the night, find someone trustworthy who can stay at your house overnight with your child. Then, check into a hotel, and go out on your date. Instead of coming home, you can extend the date into a fantasy night.

Try to make the magic last from the start of the date until the next day. This way, you aren't just going to be like a couple of friends going to a movie, instead, you are a couple.

There are things you can do on a day to day basis that can keep the romance alive, and help build passion until your next date night. Little unexpected kisses while you are walking by each other can be one way. Send each other love notes via text, e-mail or even pen and paper. Bring home flowers one night. Little things to let your partner know that you still see them as the sexy person you fell in love with long before children came along.

Being a parent is one of the most fulfilling things you can do. Just make sure you don't lose the love and romance.
