Wow…we’re all feeling cooped up and antsy because of our long, long winter. The cloudiness has also been relentless and many people are feeling down, depressed and discouraged.

Start to help yourself with self-care…here are some options to take better care of yourself, which helps with better, more controlled or appropriate emotions. Start here:

Meditate/Prayer, journal, deep breathing, connect spiritually in some way, be accountable to others to help you stay focused on self-care, seek counseling, build or turn to your support network or safe friends, express your needs, set healthy boundaries and learn to say “NO,” get medical help if that would help, get some good sleep, eat well, exercise and don’t forget to HAVE FUN!
