We understand how busy you are and how difficult it may be to take care of yourself. Therefore, we have created a list of self-care tips to assist you in nurturing yourself as much as you nurture others.

To make this an achievable goal, try scheduling your self-care daily, weekly and monthly; also track how you feel during and after each self-care exercise. Below are a list of self-care tips to get you started:
1. Unplug for a day, week, or weekend. See how much you gain in terms of energy and time.
2. Pick up a book. Read that book you have always wanted to read. If this is not possible, try reading for a shorter period of time, opt for 5 minute increments or 5 pages, which ever is more doable.
4. Start a journal. This would be a good way to keep track of how you feel during and after each self-care exercise.
5. Have a get together in person or virtually with friends.
