Transition Support Prompt #2: How do you plan to prioritize your well-being as you become an adult?
Hello everyone, I hope you are all being easy on yourself this week.
Last week we discussed: What are your biggest fears and concerns about transitioning from being a teenager to an adult? Thank you to all who participated and shared their thoughts for discussion. I enjoyed them. I hope you all did too. If you didn't share yours, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you.
This week's prompt: How do you plan to prioritize your well-being as you become an adult?
This week I want us to reflect and explore the importance of self-care and mental health. Let's get started and all thoughts are welcomed!
Also, you can request a Transitioning Mentor to support and guide you as well!

Well one thing is to get enough sleep.
@politePeach9642 Getting enough sleep is so important for well-being. What else do you feel would help you take care of yourself as you become an adult? It is wonderful that you are focused on prioritizing your health and happiness.

I must’ve misread the question, because I’m already an adult, lol, but if I can go back, I would definitely tell myself to get more sleep.
Another thing I would tell myself would be to take a power nap instead of binge eating in front of the tv when I came home tired from school.
@politePeach9642 It sounds like getting more rest and avoiding late night binges would have served you well. Those are good steps. You're aware of what works best for your well-being, and that self-knowledge will continue to support you as you take good care of yourself.
