Sometimes shifting the wording to: "I choose to play Legos with my kids" or "I choose to feed my kids" can help confirm that you're doing things just the way you want to be doing them.

I raised 3 small kids and it's easy to feel constrained. When I realized that everything I was doing was my choice, I felt less guilty about not doing X, Y and Z. Instead I was just prioritizing and choosing to do other things with my time.

So technically, yes you can choose to exercise 30min a day but it's also perfectly reasonable to choose sleep, playing with your kids, etc.
