Set Boundaries
- A critical part of carving out time for yourself is setting boundaries. Brainstorm where you can cut back on responsibilities and commitments in your daily life, and then act accordingly.
- When it comes to setting boundaries or seeking special accommodations at work, many employers are willing to be more flexible and empathetic than you might expect.
- Approach your employer with specific details of what you want them to do and come to the table with a plan and compromises ready.

Get In Tune With Your Emotions

Go Back To The Basics
- Take a few minutes to do some deep breathing. Be sure to drink enough water throughout the day.
- Check in with yourself by asking the questions: Are you aware of what you're eating and how it impacts your body? Do you have quality relationships with the people in your life? Could you establish a relaxing morning and nighttime routine? Could you cut down on caffeine? What do you like to do for movement?
- Remember that self-care is anything you do to help get you through the day! :)
