Self-care is simply put, the fuel that our minds and bodies need to function fully and adequately. Otherwise, we run the risk of burn out.

Set aside a few precious moments in your day to check in with yourself.

Here are a few self-care strategies you can experiment with:

•⁠ ⁠Exercise appropriately
•⁠ ⁠Eat well and Practice good sleep hygiene
•⁠ ⁠Go for a walk and spend time with nature
•⁠ ⁠Breathe deeply
•⁠ ⁠Connect with your spiritual self
•⁠ ⁠Use positive self talk
•⁠ ⁠Spend time with nature
•⁠ ⁠Listen to good music
•⁠ ⁠Engage your senses by lighting a candle, soaking in a bath, drinking herbal infusions.
•⁠ ⁠Maintain your social connections by spending time with friends.
•⁠ ⁠and my personal favourite, write a gratitude journal.

Whatever you do, take care of yourself because too.

Begin today. Integrate regular self-care strategies into your daily routine.

If you’re experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety or you think you may be depressed, please don’t keep it to yourself. Talk to someone about it.
