RHYTHM (how you Restore your inner self)

• Remember that "Self Care" is NOT "Selfish." By taking time to refuel yourself, you will be more equipped to care for those around you.

• It's been said that you are as smart as the average of the five people you spend the most time with. The same applies to your overall "wellness," so be intentional and spend time with people who inspire you to be a better "you."

• Practice Gratitude by writing down or verbalizing two or three things you are thankful for and why.

• Smile really big or even Laugh out loud for 20 seconds. It really works!

• Pause regularly for Deep Breathing. An example of this is called "box breathing" which consists of a 4 count nose inhale, 4 count hold, 4-6 count pursed-lip exhale, and 4-6 count hold. (https://www.verywellmind.com/the-benefits-and-steps-of-box-breathing-4159900)
