Strategizing for Self-Care
-
The term self-care is widely recognized, but how can we ensure we’re actually promoting lasting well-being? Meaningful self-care is much more than treating ourselves to something fun or taking a mental health day (although those can be great forms of self-care!) To get the most “bang for your buck” from self-care practice, it’s important to create an intentional plan based on evidence from psychology and neuroscience. This workshop will offer self-care strategies based on current research and a 5-step guideline for building personalized self-care plans.
