Just doodling because that's what is on my brain. So I do that. That really helps me get in tune with myself. I find that when I'm journaling, even if it is a to-do list or a doodle, giving myself that time to sit and process kind of helps bring to the surface anything that I may not be aware of that I can then go ahead and deal with. Making sure that I get outside, out of the space that I'm in, at least a couple times a day. Having a dog, it's I'm really grateful for that because I have to go on walks. And really making sure that I am doing all the things that my body needs on a bare minimum. So making sure that I'm eating enough food and brushing my teeth and flossing and taking my medication.
