Date With Your Self
Making time to have a date with yourself is one way to replenish your inner resources. There are many activities you can choose from. Some activities that are repetitive or soothing – like cooking, mending, showering, swimming, scrubbing, or gardening – relax the logical side of the brain and allow the creative side of the brain to play.
