Our Self Care Tips

My favorite self care tip is to spend time with loved ones. Sometimes when I get overly busy and stressed, I tend to isolate myself. I find that when I prioritize spending time with friends (even if that means silently doing homework together), I am in a much better mood. Another self care tip is to keep a clean living space. I usually clean my room every Sunday, which allows me to reset and feel more prepared going into a new week. Take care of yourselves!

My go-to strategy for self care has always been making time for my creative passions! Whether that means checking out an egregious amount of interlibrary loans, writing short stories that will probably never see the light of day, or even just starting a new sewing project, nurturing my creative side has always helped me feel rejuvenated and grounded. Consequently, this allows me to take on academics and other responsibilities with a clearer and more energized perspective!
