Check out this video about the importance of self-care.

Sometimes it can be hard to incorporate self-care into our schedules. It is important to intentionally put it in our schedule. A visual reminder of things that you can do can help remind you to put that self-care into your schedule.

Below are some examples of what self-care can be.

• Spa activities
  • Go to the dollar store and get eye masks, face masks, facial scrubs, hair masks, and any other spa material for cheap.
• Cook
• Watch movies
• Play video games
• Make sure to get enough sleep in. This may mean setting a bed-time that you must stop working
• Meditation
• Work out
• Set boundaries with others. It is okay to say no
• Spend time on your make-up

Please share with us what types of things you put on your self-care vision board. If you are comfortable, we would love to show-case your work on our page. Send rldavies@odu.edu an email with the picture. Were you able to incorporate self-care in this week? What did you do?
