Fall is (almost) here. As the season arrives, I start feeling more alive and get excited to make the most out of it. As someone who spends most of my time indoors, this cozy season makes me want to go outside and observe how change can be beautiful too.
As much as I like this season, there’s something that has always been my top priority (and will always be) regardless of any reason- yes, self care. You guessed it right. So I can feel my best and go out in my best mood to do the activities and have some fun with myself.
As burnout and overwhelm is like a daily part of our lives. It seems impossible to not get stressed. There are some small activities that will allow you to reset your mind and body and the best part? They do not necessarily take a lot of time or money.
I would recommend that you pick out some of your favorite activities from the list and include them in your day to day life.
