Hiking in Hawaii: I’ll make time to go hiking in Hawaii’s beautiful landscapes to recharge and connect with nature. Being outdoors helps me clear my mind, reduce stress, and feel more balanced, so I can return to my work refreshed.

Reading New Books: I plan to dive into new books regularly as a way to unwind and keep my mind engaged outside of work. Reading gives me a break from daily stresses and allows me to relax, which helps me stay mentally sharp and energized.

Painting: I’ll also set aside time to paint, as it’s a creative outlet that lets me express myself and release any built-up tension. Painting helps me feel more relaxed and fulfilled, adding a layer of joy and calm to my routine.
