Re: Evenings alone and the best ways to self-care

I struggle at night time too @Melanie-cat, especially when my insomnia is bad. I've found listening to audiobooks and podcasts to be helpful. 🎧

 

Sometimes I just get up, make a cuppa, and snuggle on the sofa with a book. 🍵 📚 

 

I also do guided meditation (mixed success) and when all else fails, I have medication.

 

I've never once meant ducking either 😅🌻

Re: Evenings alone and the best ways to self-care
