one of the most grounding things for me is to people watch. perhaps that’s a symptom of my own detachment—but somehow watching people just be people is relaxing. interesting. comforting. a mirror.
I love talking a walk and observing everything around me, especially the sky, the trees, the buildings. I find it helps take me out of my head and forces me to be present in the moment.
i feel like social media has made us so self-aware of our actions/habits/behaviors. we are thinking of what is cool or trendy or desirable. we are too afraid to be cringe! to be stupid! to be lame!
the best community i have found is the people who are not afraid to like what they like & are proud of it. do the stuff you always wanted to try. the people will follow.
this is only a habit i have picked up in the last year, but it has made a world of difference. i will write about things that i am thinking about or stuff i need to do or just chronicle my day. i just find it very grounding or like a reset to my thought processes.
