Self-Care Tips

Change starts with awareness; we can’t improve what we don’t first notice. That’s why the first step in managing our emotions is learning to recognize and observe them as they happen.

Instead of letting emotions control our actions, we can take a step back and reflect. Simply naming what we’re feeling can help us create distance from strong emotions, especially when they’re negative, and begin to respond more thoughtfully.
