PREVENTATIVE SELF-CARE

Prioritize Mental Health Wellness

• Goal set, what must get done, what can wait, it is okay to say no
• Develop a sleep routine, hold yourself accountable to getting enough sleep
• Incorporate movement daily, take the stairs at work or go for a power walk on your lunch break
• Eat regular meals and stay hydrated
• Phone a friend, stay connected with friends or family that can provide emotional support
• Decompress, examples are mindfulness exercises, journaling, adult coloring, or scheduling "me time" to do your favorite hobby
