Parenting Tips

We all know that getting back into our school routines can be stressful. So we’ve have some self-care tips from we think will help.

1. Meditate – Even a quick 5-minute meditation can help you feel rejuvenated. If you are new to meditation, guided meditation might be a good option. There are many apps, websites, and audio files that can walk you through the steps of meditation.
2. Listen to Music – Whether you find classical music soothing, or you prefer to dance to some 80s tunes, listening to music can be a great way to take care of yourself.
3. Join a Book Club – A book club can serve several purposes. Joining a book club that meets in person will help you have regular social interaction, it will motivate you to set aside time to read, and it can help you have something to look forward to each week.
4. Go for a walk – Exercise can be just as good for your mind as it is for your body. Though you might not always feel like you have time to hit the gym or to engage in an intense workout, fortunately, a brisk walk can be an excellent self-care strategy.
5. Practice Mindfulness – Mindfulness programs or simply a daily mindfulness practice can help you become more present—this is key to fully savoring what’s going on right now.
