“I put on my headphones and listen to some music to help me relax, sometimes even while I wash dishes or fold laundry. The mindlessness of the needed task + the music helps me to calm down (and clear some of the mess that was stressing me to begin with!).”
Yes, this is so real, sometimes the only “me time” is music or a podcast in your ears while still getting stuff done. -Danielle 😊
