I love to journal and lift weights (heavy weights). I’ve found writing how I feel helps me to visualise my thoughts and lifting weights allows me to remind myself how strong I am when I push myself out of my comfort zone.

I find being in a body of water relaxing – whether it’s rowing or swimming in the ocean on my travels. I also enjoy reading, especially books written by Black women. These truly relax me.

I look after my wellbeing by travelling, exploring the world, food and culture, as well as being in nature, spending time with loved ones, and immersing myself in the arts. You can sometimes find me singing or acting!

I look after my wellbeing by exercising, dancing in the mirror, speaking with loved ones and praying and meditating on God’s word. I try to always remind myself of the scripture that reminds us all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

The ways I take care of my well-being are:
1) physically – working out 3-4 times a week,
2) spiritually – doing daily devotions and praying,
3) mentally – staying positive and reminding myself that I am on a “journey of BECOMING”, and lastly by doing self-care routines (walks along the water, facials, body scrubs, etc.).

I try to be intentional about making the time and space for the things that bring me joy and refill my cup. I also actively observe the Sabbath on Sundays – I stop – take time to worship, rest and delight in God to avoid my tendency of making an idol of productivity and efficiency.  

I take care of myself by soaking in a bath with salts and essential oils, spending time with my husband, and taking family walks.
