Self-Care Strategies:
Whether we're taking care of kids, aging parents, demanding partners, friends in crisis or taxing bosses, self-care is often tossed out the window. But many experts say that making room for our own needs is critical to enable us to care for others and keep going with calm and inner strength. This article contains a plethora of resources on finding self-care that works for you. |
What Self-Care Is - And What It Isn't: Most of us know what self-care is, but knowing what self-care is not might be even more important. It is not something that we force ourselves to do, or something we don’t enjoy doing. As Agnes Wainman explained, self-care is “something that refuels us, rather than takes from us.” |

Down Dog:
Yoga can be an amazing source of self-care, and the free Down Dog app helps you build your own personal yoga routine. |

Research suggests that exposure to blue light before sleep may distort your natural (circadian) rhythm and cause inability to fall asleep. Twilight is an app that filters out the blue spectrum on your phones screen after sunset, allowing you to relax easier. |
Stop, Breathe & Think:
This app helps give you some time each day to step back, practice mindful breathing, and check-in with yourself about how you are thinking and feeling. |
