How Alison practices self-care

Time with family and friends is critical to my wellbeing and being able to laugh (and cry and everything in between) restores my energy. My inner circle of friends and family are lifelines, and those relationships I do not take for granted. In addition to my relationships, I also mediate, which took me a long time to come to, and I still have my challenges, but the more consistent I am the better my practice.

Walking is another part of my self-care practice, I love to walk and find that once I get going my thoughts and perspective begin to shift, and there is always something new to see or notice.
