Sometimes, when you’re working in social services, it’s easy to forget to take time for yourself. Get a fresh start to your work week by taking a few minutes to focus on your health & wellness. Read on for 15 ways to renew and re-energize from the MACA team:

+ Get fresh air. 

+ Spend 10 minutes watching or reading something that makes you laugh. 

+ Write down three things for which you are thankful. 

+ Declutter your desk. 

+ Listen to relaxing background music or noise while you work. 

+ Write a handwritten letter to a relative. 

+ Try a new recipe for lunch filled with healthy nutrients. 

+ Reflect on the high points from your day.

+ Encourage a co-worker. 

+ Stretch. 

+ Hang up a motivational quote in your office. 

+ Take a break from social media.

+ Change your desktop background. 

+ Reconnect with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. 

+ Do a random act of kindness. 

We hope you take some time this week to focus on yourself!
