SEL: Self Care

  • Self Care Calendar

    Good morning PPS, Hello May 2024!

     

    “Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.”

     

     

    As we recognized in March & April, we continue our journey into May, symbolized by strengthening our roots by listening to our bodies and needs, as we celebrate our ever-evolving life.  Additionally, May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month! While it is important all year, this special month of recognition raises awareness about mental illness, its prevalence in today’s society, and its impacts on people of all ages and backgrounds.

    Engaging in a self-care routine has been clinically proven to reduce or eliminate anxiety and depression, reduce stress, improve concentration, minimize frustration and anger, increase happiness, improve energy, and more.  The Self-Care Calendar is meant to provide ideas and affirmations for those who need that little extra reminder to show a little love for themselves each day.

    Mantra for May:

    I am cultivating harmony and growth, tending to my needs, and prioritizing my well-being.  I am strong and deserve to be the best person I can be.
