By Jon Watson Taking Time for You Caring for ourselves during the holiday season can feel particularly difficult, and many of us can struggle with it year round. We all have so much to do and are balancing so many stressors each day, that it can be hard to take time for self-care practices. Why is it important for us to take the moments we need to take care of ourselves today and every day? It is central to feeling better, being at our best, and modeling good self-care for our children. If you are ever reluctant to take the few minutes you need to breathe, take a walk, rest, have a snack, talk with a friend, or whatever you need to recharge, try to remind yourself that doing so actually helps you and your family. To meet the challenges of life, work, and parenting every day with your best self, you must start by caring for yourself. Do so each day, in ways that work best for you physically, emotionally, and creatively/spiritually. A few examples of such practices follow: Physical Self-Care Emotional/Social Self-Care Creative/Spiritual Self-Care Get enough sleep Spend time with friends Journal Exercise Read Spend time in nature Eat healthy Take a spa day Enjoy a hobby Take a walk outside Practice Gratitude Practice mindfulness Take tech-free time Spend time with family Pray or meditate For more information on self-care practices, a few resources can be found using the links provided: COUNSELING CALENDAR
