As the school year continues on, so do the seasons. I think it is very important to remember to take time for yourself and slow down to relieve stress. Here are some of my favorite fall activities to help me feel at my best.
1. Go to Butterfield Farms:
I love this place. There are so many different options to choose from. They have apple cider, pumpkins, and caramel apples. Everything Fall you can imagine. This helps to get my mind off school especially when looking at all the amazing choices. I have a place like this in my hometown so it also gives me a little reminder of home.
2. Fill out gratitude journal
Sometimes when I have those days where I feel like everything is going wrong, I take the time to write down everything that is going right and everything in my life that I am thankful for. It helps to remind me that although today might suck to think about everything I have, and helps me to put life in perspective as well.
3. Go on a walk
Miami has so many amazing trails and paths to walk when you just need to clear your head. Going for a quick walk makes me feel so much better and gives my mind a boost. It allows me to clear all my thoughts and improves health as well.
4. Call someone on the phone
One of my favorite things to do when I am stressed out is to call someone. I always call my bestfriend or older sister or my mom. It helps to clear your own head and catch up with the person you are talking to. You are able to reconnect and engage in meaningful conversations.
5. Listen to music, watch a show, do something that makes you happy What I have learned when I am stressed or having a bad day is to do something for five minutes that makes you happy. I normally listen to a couple songs, or recently have been watching Gilmore girls for the fall season. It really makes a difference and helps me get into a better mindset.
