Evenings alone and the best ways to self-care

Hey there,

So... evenings and night times can be tough especially if we don't have a lover to snuggle up to. It seems to be when emotions are very strong and powerful, and work stress makes me want to turn myself inside out. It's hard to avoid using food and the internet to settle and distract my mind. Just wondering if anyone might like to share their ideas for what helps them to be calm and serene at times like this? For me the best thing is listening to meditation stuff, but I seem to resist that. Maybe something else has to happen first to even get me into a good enough state to be ABLE to sit quietly and listen. Anyway looking forward to some conversation on this topic.
