In times of increased anxiety, it is natural to become destructive. We do this, not only in platonic/intimate relationships or personal/collective ventures, but in the sacred relationship we have with ourselves.

Life is hard and that is okay. What matters is how you treat yourself when it is not going your way.

I find myself hyper focused on blaming my environment, irritating people, or circumstances beyond my control, but some destruction can only come from within.

We all know what a love language is (if not, here is the quiz) and know that feeling you get when you realize someone is hitting those points of affection that are special to you (especially when it is on purpose).

Luckily for us loners (or those who find themselves craving alone time), there are ways for US to restore our own hearts.

• Volunteering at a pet shelter/Touch Aquariums

• Feet in warm sand/grass

• Personal pedicure/manicure

• Bundle up next to a fire
