Get Away

Traveling has long been my most efficient form of self-care. There’s something transforming in replacing a routine and everyday environment with a foreign one. It’s not just the change of location that’s beneficial to me, though. Even the physical act of traveling is therapeutic. It requires patience. It requires an open mind. These two characteristics are important to possess and nurture. I recognize not everyone has the ability to travel. I find similar peace in taking the subway, driving around in my car, and simply walking around my neighborhood. As trivial as it may seem, self care is vital. 2017 was a trying year for a lot of us on so many different levels. Be sure to prioritize your personal health this year.
