SELF-CARE

Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it’s a simple concept in theory, it’s something we very often overlook. Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It’s also key to a good relationship with oneself and others.

We hope the artwork below inspires hope, optimism, and encouragement!

Meet Boz! Today Boz spent all their time worrying. To help with this, Boz started dedicating 15 minutes every day to think about those thoughts. Once their watch said time was up, Boz focused on another task to distract themselves. Now Boz is getting better at not worrying all the time.
