I always worry about my friends who just had kids. Seems natural to kind of draw back a little. My partner and I do a lot to make sure they have all of the support they need. Bring 'em wine when they have a night off.
I take a trip to the local climbing gym. Moving around in a methodical but measured way always seems to wake me up best. Then I have the license to be kinda lazy after work if I want to.
There's a concept in Japanese traditional medicine called Shinrin-yoku Forest Therapy (Forest Bathing) that focuses on spending quiet and still time in natural places as a means to unwind and de-stress. Anyone have any experience working this practice into their busy weekly lives?
