5 Great CNY Spots for ‘Me’ Time

You spend your days working hard, and your evenings taking care of errands, shuttling the kids all over town and getting chores done. It gets exhausting. Sometimes, you just need a little alone time to recharge your batteries. According to Psychology Today, alone time allows you to reboot your brain and think through problems more effectively.

For some of us, a little time alone in Target or a long, hot shower is enough time to feel re-energized. Some of us need a little more intensive dose of solitude. Central New York has some great places to spend time alone and just...chill.

Go for a walk at Clinton's Root Glen. Ahhh, birds chirping and a cool breeze rustling through the trees. So relaxing.

Have dinner alone at one of Utica's great restaurants. Bring a book and you've got a perfect date...with yourself.

Outdoor yoga in Utica. What's more Zen than some 'om' time? Namaste.

Take a stroll through one of the area's farmer's markets. A little browsing, and maybe some sampling of some cookies or berries. You'll feel more relaxed in no time.

How about kayaking? Physical exertion combined with the beauty of nature. That's a great combination.

Choose any of these CNY activities and reboot your brain. What do you do for some alone time?
