Hey, let’s face it, we are not robots! No matter what we think or how the world views us, we are only human. What does that mean? It means that our bodies need REST…mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Here are some of the things that I do to relax whenever my body tells me that it’s time to rest:
SPAS / SALONS
Get excited for some down time! Relaxation is the key to a happy life. Just pause, breathe, and let the tranquility take over. You’ve earned this!
BOOKS
Books offer a grand universe to explore. The magic of pages allows us to journey through infinite worlds that resonate within us.

- Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love
- Queenie
- Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking
SHOPPING
Calling all shopaholics! Nothing beats the rush of snagging that item you’ve been eyeing for a long time. From clothes to jewelry, or home goodies – the choice is yours…shop responsibly!

THERAPY
Therapy can be a fantastic tool for personal growth and can really turn things around for you.
- I searched for therapists through the Black Female Therapist app and used the following filter options to narrow down available therapists:
- therapist who accepted new patients,
- therapist specialties and bios;
- medical insurance accepted; and
- virtual appointment availability.
