Employee Self-Care

We as caring adults need to take care of ourselves. Just as we are told on an airplane, we must put on our air mask before we can place it on our children. 

Here are some suggestion dealing with stress:

• Keep a journal.– Write and process your thoughts & feelings.

<!>

• Exercise.– Move your body each day.

<!>

• Eat healthy and regular meals.– You are what you eat.

<!>

• Adhere to a sleep routine.– We need 7-8 hours per night for maximum functioning.

<!>

• Avoid caffeine.– Too much caffeine can give you the jitters.

<!>

• Spend time with family and friends.– Laugh and play together.
