Love Yourself
Italians also understand the importance of loving and taking care of yourself. Sometimes you need time to yourself, and that's why Italians have a midday break, or "riposo," to replenish themselves. So give yourself a break sometimes! Whether that means eating outside on your lunch break (check out Central Park, Bryant Park or Washington Square Park) or skipping happy hour with friends to go home and relax on your couch. You deserve it.
