What do you do to stay balanced? I make time to go to the gym for a lift, run or a recovery stretch every day. It is my safe space, and it gives me a chance to take care of myself and reset my day. Sometimes it seems like there is not enough time, but I've found that even when I feel the most behind, taking care of myself FIRST does more for me than anything else.
Three things people may not know about me:
- I taught myself to write well with both hands to be more efficient.
- I haven't been on an airplane since I was around 5.
- I collect coffee mugs
Congratulations Alyssa!
