I’ve always felt drawn to the power and beauty of the sea. There aren’t many things I love more than watching and listening to the movement and sound of the waves. When I have the chance, I love going to the beach in Hove, which is one of my favourite places in the UK.

Last month, I went back for the first time in a few years, and luckily it turned out to be a gorgeous, warm day with the sun shining brightly. I felt completely recharged after spending the afternoon in the sunshine next to the waves. This is a picture I took there that day:

Going to the sea is something I always want to do, but I feel like I don’t make as much time to go as I’d like to. Things can feel busy for all of us sometimes, but it can make all the difference to make time for the things we love that recharge us.

We all have simpler things that recharge us, which we can easily fit into everyday life, and other things that take a bit more planning.

What’s something you love that recharges you?
And what’s something that recharges you that you’d like to make more time for?
