World Mental Health Day Discussion: Self-Care
Hi everyone!
It's World Mental Health Day today, which makes it the ideal occasion to talk about mental health and self-care. Sometimes being a leader can be incredibly challenging, and when we're balancing everything, it's so easy to forget about our own wellbeing.
Let’s see a few tips to make self-care a priority:
Setting Boundaries: Don’t hesitate to unplug whenever you need it. Creating a routine will help you to disconnect from work after hours.
Practice Mindfulness: Just a few minutes of mindfulness or meditation can do wonders to get a relief from stress.
Stay Active: Movement is key! Find an activity you enjoy, whether it be a brisk walk, gym, a dance class, or yoga. It’s a great way to boost your mood and energy.
Connect with Others: Remember, you’re not alone! Reach out to our listeners through your member account. Sharing experiences can foster support and strengthen our community.
Reflect and Journal: Taking a moment to jot down your thoughts, this can help you process your experiences and identify areas for growth.
Alright, now let’s open up a conversation!
Which forms of self-care practices do you think will be helpful in your leadership journey? Share your thoughts and let’s inspire each other to take care of ourselves. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup! ❤️

Setting boundaries on Cups has so many benefits! Prevents burnout, is good for trust building, avoids dependency, and sets a positive example for fellow leaders. I commonly see boundaries being misconceived as selfish or uncaring. However, setting boundaries is actually a form of self-respect and respect for those you support.
Good post, Dream!
