Self-Care
Please remember that you must take care of yourself in order to be an asset to yourself and others. Self-Care can help promote positive feelings, which can help with self-confidence and self-esteem. We challenge you and members of your family to complete at least one self-care activity daily. Self-care is essential!
Self-Care Ideas:
- Take a walk
- Listen to music
- Write or draw
- Do something you love that makes you happy
