​What’s on My Mind - #selfcare

Last week I wrote about using timers to get more work done. While I stand by that suggestion, I have another bit to add, make sure you take time to take care of yourself.
 
Social media asks us what’s on our minds and, frankly, sometimes the answer is I have is that I need to get offline. In order to keep my projects all moving, I’ve realized it’s become more and more important I take time to clear my head. I’m more productive, not less, when I practice self-care.
 
Here are ways I refill my well:
·       Turn off my phone
·       Coffee at a coffee shop
·       Go for a run
·       Make art
·       Journal
·       Take a walk
·       Clean up
·       Read!
·       Yoga class
·       Spin class
·       Dance break
·       Sketch
·       Write a letter (longhand)
·       Cooking
·       Baking
·       Go outside
·       Drink water

Of course, spending time with the ones you love is essential during your off hours, too. Sometimes you can even mix pleasure and work, like when I wrote this post on having a family cooking competition at home. Finding opportunities to bring socializing into your work life can help with burnout, too.

How about you? How do you refuel your creative well?
