• Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, licensed clinical social worker, mental strength coach, and international bestselling author.
• During the pandemic, Morin has been working from her sailboat home with little social interaction or outside activities, which she says for some can be a recipe for depression.
• Instead of going the traditional self-care route, she decided to step up her routine by scheduling time every day to take her WaveRunner out for a spin on the water.
• Self-care doesn't all have to be aromatherapy or spa day-related, Morin says. An adrenaline-boosting activity can help clear your mind, and give you something to look forward to on a regular basis.

As an author, much of my time is spent staring at my laptop. I'm also a speaker, so in the pre-pandemic era, I spent a lot of time traveling to speaking engagements.
