Sometimes in life you get drained and need to take a break, but don’t know what to do to have some time for yourself. At least that’s true for myself, I know I can’t work anymore but I don’t know what I feel like doing to calm down and chill out. So here is my incomplete and unofficial list of self-care activities.
