There are times when eating properly, getting enough sleep and all of the other things I try to do to take care of myself isn’t enough. Too often, it’s the self-love, the time taken to be just me, Kristen, that gets pushed aside. I’m often the last person I take care of, (or think of), when time is at a crunch.
I’m blessed to live a few short blocks from the sea, the one place that I can ground myself and set myself back to center. Even ten minutes is enough. As my feet sink into the sand, I take in the briny air and I feel myself relax; my pace settling in with the cadence of the waves as they break on shore.
