Abra Belke · On Recess

Buffer Month continues. For those who missed last week’s post, I am using January as a bridge between 2023 and 2024. It’s a time to evaluate, tidy and plan. No rush into a resolution, no hurry to change every facet of my life. I’m serious about making some changes to how I operate in my daily life, and I want to make sure they last.

It was a small thing that made a big impact on my overall mental health. I recommend doing it while you “watch” a movie or while you wait for your child at music class. It’s a great way to fill those in-between moments.
