![]() I carried my journal around with me anytime I was alone or headed to bed, and ended up getting a long session in while waiting for my lunch at an open-air resto. During my alone time, I prioritized walking to the places I wanted to visit, in order to get some sunshine/vitamin D and movement in my day. People drive most places in LA, leaving little opportunity to hit my normal step count. I made sure not to overfill my trip and gratefully accept a few hours of downtime here and there. This is a sacred part of self-care for me, and something I usually get every day. Here’s an example of the chops I made to my usual self-care routine:Īlone time.
