How To Self Care

Step 1: Get plenty of sleep. Research shows that teens between the ages of 14 and 17 need 8-10 hours of sleep.

Step 2: Go out and enjoy nature. Sunlight is said to put you in a better mood and give an instant burst of energy.

Step 3: Do hobbies that you enjoy.

Step 4: Hug people. Hugs can reduce stress and help connect with people. We need 4 hugs a day to survive, 8 hugs for maintenance, and 12 hugs for growth.

Step 5: Talk to people. Talking to another, whether that’s a friend, family member, or complete stranger will leave you feeling more positive.

Step 6: Enjoy some “you” time. Give yourself time to reflect on goals and set new ones. Make sure to recognize your accomplishments no matter how small they are.
