💯 echo the north woods of CP, Riverside, and Inwood- and also being near the water during summer mornings and evenings, whether that’s the lawns at Chelsea Piers or the south section of Domino Park; and then, both the Bronx and BK botanic gardens consistently re-charge me during the winter/spring flux time (especially given how huge the BX grounds are). Obvi paying to go isn’t ideal, but both have some good discounted or pay what you want options for NYers that are worth looking into! 🌳

You can absolutely feel like you’re getting lost in the North Woods of Central Park. There are little hiking paths and streams, boulders, and fewer people than the touristy southern parts of the park. A nice bonus is when you come out on the northeastern side you can peer over Harlem Meer and likely see some ducks!
Hon. mention to Riverside Park (seconding the person who said that), Inwood Hill Park, and Fort Tryon Park (and the Cloisters!)

One of my favorite places that‘s somehow still within the city limits. Beautiful any time of year, even when things aren’t in bloom, given the views of the Palisades across the Hudson. You can linger as long as you want so I love to bring a picnic lunch and a book and camp out all day when I go up. The tiny greenhouses, I daresay, have far better variety than either of the city botanical gardens (currently a ton of orchids on) and for the low price of $10. Just an excellent place that no one seems to know about.

Didn’t plan to give the series another shot but I’d heard this season wasn’t following the previous formula…it’s giving full Twin Peaks vibes. The owls are not what they seem and I’m 100% here for it.

I’ve been doing this since the end of Dec..I was reading an interview about mental health habits and the person shared they do this at the top of each day:
Make a list of these 5 things- full sentences or singular words, whatever comes to mind.
1) 5 things you’re grateful for today
2) things you need/want to do today
3) any fears or resentments
4) things to avoid feeding into today
5) things to strive for/go after today
I love a list, and jotting it down in my daily planner is a nice way of not being too precious about it. 🌞
