Monday Campaign: Self-Care Starts Today

As we approach the last days of yet another long semester, it’s easy to find ourselves feeling extra tired and maybe even struggling to find our motivation. Semester-ending activities seem to be nonstop, and yet many of us take pride in being able to handle so many things at once. Eventually, though, there’s a tipping point; that’s where stress builds up and burnout creeps in. And that’s exactly why self-care — or “me time” — is so vital.

This Monday, let’s begin the week by deciding to give ourselves some well-deserved attention. Tiny timeouts can make a big difference in helping us feel more relaxed, focused and rejuvenated. Even small actions can boost energy, helping us get back on track to finish out our end-of-semester activities. Check out today’s Monday Campaigns image for a few ideas on how you can easily incorporate some self-care into your day.

Caring for ourselves is just as important as caring for others. So let’s try it this week!

Use the Monday Check-In to help support your wellness efforts. Each week, take what you need and leave what you don’t!
