Running, reading and writing, cooking

I embrace running, reading and writing, and cooking as intentional practices for emotional balance and self-expression. Running helps me reconnect with my body and release stress through movement; reading and journaling deepen my self-awareness and intellectual curiosity; and cooking offers a creative, grounding space to care for myself and others. These hobbies support my belief in holistic, artistic approaches to mental health and personal growth.
