Wellness and Self-Care Strategies

• Take time alone when you need it. This can help when your thoughts feel chaotic. Let close friends know you need space, while staying open to reaching out for support.
• Step back from social media during low periods. The presenter sometimes deletes social apps temporarily.
• Journal to understand difficult emotions. Writing can help reveal what is behind sadness. Journaling can also preserve especially meaningful memories.
• Limit short-form content and doomscrolling. If it feels hard to stop, consider deleting the app for a while.
• Notice how far you’ve come. Give yourself credit for getting through difficult experiences, and don’t dismiss past achievements just because you’re pursuing a bigger goal.
• Take breaks without guilt. Rest gives your mind and body time to recover and can help you work more effectively afterward.
• Practice gratitude. Name things you appreciate, such as shelter, food, clean water, education, family, and supportive friends.
• Remember that feeling sad is okay. Life includes both difficult and easier phases, and you don’t have to face hard times alone.
