Here are some gentle, practical ways you could live a little better this week — nothing overwhelming, just small shifts that can add up:

​

 Care for Yourself

• Rest on purpose: Pick one night to go to bed earlier than usual. Even an extra 30 minutes helps.

• Move your body: Doesn’t have to be a workout — a walk outside, stretching, or even dancing to a song you love counts.

• Breathe deeply: Try a short breathing break each day (4 slow breaths in, 4 out). It resets your nervous system.​

• ​

 Care for Your Environment

• Declutter one spot: A drawer, your desk, or even your bag. Clearing physical space can clear mental space.

• Add a touch of beauty: Fresh flowers, a candle, or opening a window for fresh air can shift the energy around you.

• ​

 Care for Your Relationships

• Reach out to one person: A quick “thinking of you” text can strengthen bonds.

• Set one boundary: Say no to something that drains you, so you have more space for what restores you.

• ​

 Care for Your Spirit

​

• Name what went well: Each evening, jot down one small good thing about the day.

• Do one thing just for joy: Read, create, cook something delicious — without it needing to be “productive.”
