I have recently taken up kickboxing for fitness and "therapy"! I have a stressful job and family and sometimes just punching a bag makes it feel better, while also getting a workout in!

Running helps me a LOT.

I've also been going to boxing classes, its an incredible way to get out some built up stress and anger...also, skiing is the absolute best form of therapy for me...being outside and getting exercise makes winters more bearable, not to mention how great it feels to use muscles that you normally don't use in the gym. If you're not a big alpine skier, cross-country skiing also gives a similar effect.

I swing on the playground next to a public library where I live. I get exercise, have an incentive to visit the library, and get fresh air.

I spend quiet time in prayer everyday. Even just 5 minutes is refreshing for me.

I use a model I came up with "Whole Self-Care" - thought, intention and emotional curation + celebrating and recognizing deliberate and small actions to support all aspects of my well-being (finances, physical, friends, spiritual, husband, kids - can be wearing good perfume, prayer, parking the car so it's easy to pull out in the AM, setting up auto-pay on bills). I share this with my clients and it looks different for all of us!
