To take on life's challenges we need to look after ourselves - inside and out.
Jim Rohn
You need to sleep well to be well. Sleep gives your body a rest. Your mind uses sleep to adjust to your experiences and reset. Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep.
Small moments of quiet rest are a great way to recharge but cannot replace a good sleep.
Being physically active is great for the body and mind. Start tiny and find things that you like so you want to keep doing them. Do activities with a friend or in groups if that helps you. Book time in for you each day to do a healthy activity that works for you.
Breathing deeply is simple and can make you feel better when things are hard. Nurture yourself now by starting at your lungs.
Find a place sit comfortably. Feet grounded on the floor if possible.
