Finding Me Time

During finals and the holidays I find myself running low on energy and a bit stressed out. Spending time with family and friends 24/7 can get kind of exhausting for an introvert like me. I need at least an hour our two to myself at the end of the day to unwind. But with my busy schedule, I find myself needing it more throughout the day. Here are some ways that I find help when I am stressed or anxious that do wonders!

1. Weather at the gym or taking a walk, focusing on yourself and burning some energy will get the blood pumping and release some stress.
2. Christmas shopping for others, it's a great way to just de-stress and think for myself! The gift of giving is always fun and makes me feel good!
3. Find a creative outlet: For me thats drawing, painting, or designing something.
4. Take some time to read or catch up on your favorite Netflix series: Right now I'm watching This is Us and it is SO good!!!
5. Take a deep breath and enjoy the season we are in! The most wonderful time of the year; embrace your loved ones a little more (this might warm you up too) and have a relaxed evening with your friends or family.

Finals are mid-through and I cannot wait for break! Bring on the cozy fireside and snugs with my pup! Also I would just like to note that it's 12 degrees outside and getting out of my warm bed might just be impossible this morning! Have a fab weekend!

P.S. I know this weeks wasn't a watercolor but I was feeling some different creative juices yesterday morning!
