| Hi there,
A lot has happened this year. The list is long, toxic and probably on a constant loop on your various screens.
Today we urge you to take a breath with us. Because we all deserve a little peace, if only for a day.
Here are some of the ways Free Press staff are engaging in self-care during these tumultuous times: “I use passing through doorways to recenter myself in the present. I treat it as an opportunity to let go of the things behind me and to focus on the purpose I have for entering a new space and what's ahead.” —Brandon “Medicinal hot tea, meal planning and petting my dog. He’s so soft and fluffy and is my shadow and makes me happy.” —Mary Alice “I meditate, exercise, take stretch breaks, center, drink medicinal tea, play with my kids, focus on being present, drink lots of water, eat healthy, and get at least 8 hours of sleep.” — Misty “I play board games, listen to music, dance, go for long walks, read ... and, of course, spend time with loved ones.” — Amy “I go to the gym and lift heavy things a few times a week, cook food with good friends, and am teaching myself to play ukulele (very badly, but that’s not what matters) …” — Lucia What works for you? Tweet us your ideas @freepress using #selfcareFriday as the hashtag.
We hope you’ll use things from our list — and others’ — to find peace, balance and joy.
With care,
The Free Press team
