I really enjoy spending time alone to recharge. I make espresso, watch YouTube, play video games, listen to music. Just whatever grabs my fancy. I’m a single dad so that doesn’t happen very often tbh, but also why it helps bring my back to my middle.

I unfortunately have rarely time for a long walk, but I do love them.
As I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking dinner I use this time as a little me-time. I pour myself a glass (one is always sufficient) of white wine, put on a podcast and then cook.
Along with several other suggestions here (full night's rest, sitting in my yard/porch, smoking), I'd also add taking a long, hot bath with either bath salts or bubbles. Wonderful way to melt away even the worst of days.
Planning my evening and getting to bed at a decent time, letting myself sleep all night, does a lot. Especially after taking a shower.
A couple of things:
- I find hand washing dishes to be very meditative.
- The practice of chanting Hindu mantras Here's an example Or doing japa
People find it weird when I say I actually like doing the dishes by hand. Good to see I'm not alone.
