How do you practice self-care?

Sometimes, I just go do my own thing. Reading a book, playing a single-player game without chatting to friends. Just disconnecting to get some quiet time, basically.

Like the last few days! I was maintaining my usual daily activities (Duolingo, daily writing prompt, some daily NYT games like Wordle) but otherwise didn’t answer messages most of the time. It helped that I traveled out of state to visit friends, which I did so by driving for roughly 10 hours one way while listening to video essays and educational materials related to science fiction and fantasy writing. Was in my own little world and not worrying about anyone else (except other drivers, obviously.)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
