Create two moments today: Self-Care and Care for Family/Community
Take care of yourself: Rest, read poetry, tap into your creative side to alleviate your stress or anxiety. Be aware of you and you can be aware of others. By taking care of yourself, you are better able to serve others!
Do something inside your household or extended family. Surprise your roommate, your children, your spouse, your parents, a grandparent, or a relative. Surprise them with something they’ll enjoy!
