Journaling, Photography, Chess, Dance

Journaling accesses my creativity levels in all areas of my life. It helps keep me focused and balanced in my work and personal life. Through journaling, I can reflect on my emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I love to travel as well, and traveling to new places opens the door to many experiences. I journal my trip on post cards to send back home, as it freezes a moment in time. Capturing photo's is an activity of mine that allows me to express my love for every day moments with loved ones or extravagant trips I want to remember. Chess games with friends and Sudoku puzzles challenge me to think multiple steps ahead. It keeps my mind sharp and actively looking for more than one way to complete a difficult game. Dancing is a hobby that allows me to feel free and in an artistic state of mind. Dancing is my favorite way to allow deep emotions to be expressed. It releases any anxiety and/or negativity I may have in life at any moment, and keeps my physical health in great shape.
