Maybe to join a Yoga or Pilates session, forest bathing, joining a group of like minded people or interests.
Making time to see your friends regularly,
Or eat more nourishing foods,
I chose to take responsibility for my thoughts and actions
What thought patterns no longer align with you?
What healthy thoughts can you substitute the old ones for?
What habits do you need to change?
What are the first steps you can take to make new healthy habits and ways of being, start small!

Breath work, journaling, mindful movement like Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Sound baths and meditations are all great ways to start an introspective journey, allowing you to be more aware of how you feel and giving you ways to express those feelings and learning how breath can help manage those feelings almost instantly,

Learning what you need, to make you feel your best, mentally, emotional and physically, is the start to be able to know what boundaries need to be set. Learning strategies to put them in place and learning to manage your emotions, as we know, life throws some pretty big curve balls, but we can still put in boundaries to helps cope with those, they just need to be adaptable and changeable to each situation, enabling you to become more resilient.
