Self-Care
Think about…
- Have you joined support groups, or thought about starting one?
- Do you write your thoughts in a journal, listen to music, or talk to family or friends when you are in need?
- Have you tried yoga, breathing, or meditation to remain calm and centered?
- Are you maintaining a daily routine?
- Do you leave yourself plenty of time to get to work and other obligations?
- Are you eating some meals without distractions, like checking your phone or watching TV?
Resources…
- Discover what you like to do best, and do it often. It will help keep your spirits and emotions up.
- Find an outlet for physical activity, such as a sports league or a gym/fitness center.
- Take some time to yourself regularly.
- Identify resources that can help you with a sleep schedule or ideas for meal planning.
- Practice positive self-affirmations. Develop a positive statement to repeat to yourself daily. When you change your thoughts, you can change your mood and attitude.
