Self Care

With an overload of work and activities that need completion, most people fail to take out time for themselves to relax. However, this is very important; a person most certainly needs a margin in the day to take a break and breathe. It is suggested that you schedule it among other things that need to be done, and add it to the list of priorities so that something else does not take up its space. During this time, you can take a breather, sleep, meditate, or even get creative by trying journaling. Recharging yourself during the day is crucial!
