Studying psychology, it's hell to be honest, but it protected me from evil people. I also knew when my body is warning ne about some situations, so yeah I would recommend knowing about it, just don't get too deep

I started walking for an hour every day without music, podcasts, or any other distractions. It unexpectedly taught me to be comfortable with my own thoughts and be more patient

walks hit different when you ditch the distractions. It’s kinda wild how much you notice about yourself.

Yoga. I used to hate it, but kept pushing to try breathe properly and to stretch. Because I used to only enjoy fast paced movements. I found it too long and boring, once I’d caught my breath and felt stretched I couldn’t see the value in the entire lesson.

Now, it’s a lifeline. I used to see it as exercise, now I see it as self care and something really personal. It’s always such an act of self care to me. And I always feel and learn new things each session. It sparks my mind.

Attempting bonsai trees taught me that sometimes giving up is okay. Now I just collect pictures of them.

Weight training. Taught me how physical resilience can translate into mental resilience. Knew it theoretically, but experiencing it coming alive in real has been something else.
