July 5 - Gifting Solitude

Day 186 of a year of Kindness

I felt tired today. I needed some time alone by the sea to recharge. So, I sat by sea and let the waves lap over my feet (and sore ankle). It’s nice to let your mind wander - no phones, no work, no conversation. Taking time for yourself is kind. It’s also kind to the people around you who rely on you for a charged battery.

Science of kindness: Research shows that spending time alone is a powerful form of self-care. The peace and quiet of solitude can help you better manage stress and anxiety, ultimately promoting overall well-being. #bekind #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindness #volunteer #recharge #peaceandquiet
