Advice: Get two journals. One is to write down life advice that strangers offer. The other is for yourself. Maybe it's how you use that advice, maybe it's a reflection on the day. No matter the content, it's important to have that time in your day where you focus on yourself. 

Fun fact: I can play 8 instruments!
