Self Care
Welcome back to Term 4! As we head back into a new term’s learning, it’s important to take time for self-care. Work/life balance is incredibly important to give yourself time to destress, reflect and rejuvenate so that you can fire on all cylinders when it is time to focus in class or complete that homework or test.
The 4 Pillars of Self-Care (from Me Time by Jessica Sanders)
Respect your physical self
- Listen to your body when it feels hungry, thirsty, sick or injured
- Move regularly
- Exercise
- Consume nutritious food

Nurture your mental self
- Acknowledge where you’re at emotionally and mentally
