Weekly Self Care Challenge- Are you up for the Challenge???

Self Care Challenge

Each week there will be a challenge of a self care act to practice. Lets encourage each other to keep up great self care!

Hi Im Anna-Kate one of the 7 cups therapist and one of the depression group liaisons. And I wanted to start this thread to help challenge ALL of us in the community to improve our SELF CARE. Each Thursday (Okay Im a day late this week but well still do it!) Im going to post a tip on different aspects of self care for each of us to try and report back. What helped? What didnt? What tips can you give? Lets support each other. And why Thur? Well if youre like me I start of the week refreshed after the weekend and ready to go and by mid week Im starting to lag and could use a good dose of self care.

So for this week to start our weekly Self Care Challenge- lets start plain and simple. All about lunch break! Yes its a time for eating but its also a time to refresh and renew for the rest of the day. Besides eating a healthy lunch what else can you do on your lunch break to ease stress?

Move your body- a few mins of cardio

Get the crinks out- streatch or do some yoga

Renew the mind- meditate or listen to soothing music

How do you spend your lunch break? Complaining and feeling negative? Is that helping? Venting can be helpful but at the right time. Try to head into the rest of your day with a calm, positive outlook.

THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE- spend your lunch break renewing your mind and body Are you up for the challenge??
