Quick Tip
Establish Non-Negotiable Self-Care
Choose one daily self-care activity that you’ll protect no matter what – even if it’s just 10 minutes. Begin with 5-minute activities that help you feel human again like showering or stepping outside.
Working with clay, making bread, painting—anything that requires you to be present with your hands and disconnected from your phone can provide essential mental breaks. I found pottery and breadmaking especially healing because they forced me to follow a schedule and be fully present.
