Friday Feature: Taking Care of You

As I zoom toward the end of the semester, I'm finding it challenging to take care of the little things. Piles of papers to be graded garner my attention (as they should), but other things fall between the cracks.

When we get stressed or overwhelmed, self-care can be one of those things. We eat poorly, we sleep poorly and we neglect the downtime we need to keep us going. And, if we're failing to do these basic things at home, it's unlikely that we're taking care of ourselves at work.

Wait, what? Self-care at work?

Yep.

Leah Weiss, author of How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, And Embrace The Daily Grind shares a few ideas on how to do just that in this article at Mindful.org. Check it out and, even better, resolve to put one of those practices into action next week.

Or maybe even sooner.
