one of my favorite things to do in the summertime for self-care is to take a walk about nature.

The music is medicine and it's like a major. Pressure releaser. Coping skill if you will.

the best thing we can do in that case is to take some time to breathe, imagine the warm of the sun, uh, on your face, the sound of the ocean.

For fun over the summer, I've been liking to make a lot of crafts. So right now I'm working on this kind of coastal themed garland.

Car therapy is being in the car, just relaxing, having the windows roll down, maybe the seat back, and you are just observing nature, the sky, feeling the wind on you, and just really taking a moment to just relax, to just breathe.

I really like to sit in my backyard, go through social medias that makes me laugh. I also like to walk around the park and have family time.

I just like to sit out here with my own thoughts, just kind of people watch and just be kind of with myself.

I like to go out there and perform with my puppets.

I have epilepsy as well as bipolar disorder, and I have to make my fun inside and I'm able to do that by writing, drawing, dancing, and singing badly.

What I like to do to cool down or wind down after a long hot pressure day is to just go get a nice cool body massage.

It's usually not very hot here in Long Beach, California, but when we get too warmed up from walking in the sun, what...

I like to play music to unwind.

So I have chosen to go out with my husband and go out with my son go to parks, go to um Blile, which is a beloved beloved beloved space in my hometown of Detroit.

I sit on my porch with my lovely tea. And I look this way across the street. I look this way across the street. I don't mind my business at all. I say hello to my neighbors.

I have been taking the time, just like a minute or two here and there to close my eyes and envision myself in a beautiful vibrant color.

I'm Susan Cox and I'm 82 years old and I live in a personal care home at Presbyterian Senior Care.

I like being in nature. So, um, I'll go on a walk. Or just go in my backyard.

I believe it's important for everyone to be open about their mental health, mental health affects everyone, and the more we talk about it, the less stigma it is for folks to talk about what they're going through in their lives.

I like to spend my summer time relaxing by the pool. And just spending time with my family, uh, just, just being outside.

Take a moment and just be, be in the moment. Join me, I love walking.
