Cheers to Friday, friends. I hope you’ve had a relaxing, fun filled Valentine’s week. This week focusing on new ways to relax and lower my stress levels has been on mind. I’ve always heard high cortisol can levels lead to an array of health issues over time which is definitely not what we want. It’s something that I try to be mindful of but in today’s world, can be challenging.
A few things I’ve been focusing on lately to lower my overall stress and be more relaxed is prioritizing sleep, reading again and lowering my social media use. It’s been exciting to dive back into books and read during lunch breaks and before bed. This week I finished The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score which I had paused during the holidays. I also started King of Wrath by Ana Huang which is keeping my attention so far. Lighthearted romancey books always pull me out of a reading rut and has also been reducing my late night scrolling.
The bf and I also took a little mini road-trip and this weekend to get away which has been so nice. We’ve spent the last 24 hours relaxing, eating yummy food + spending time together. We also went to the zoo which was so fun! Here’s your reminder to do a little getaway when you can- it’s so nice. Whether you go on a solo trip, with a significant other or friends, we all need a little time to recharge and deviate from the status quo.
