TODAY'S LEARNING
Steps To Self-Care
1. Take a Deep Breath (Or Several)
Let’s start slow. Living a life that includes deep breathing is essentially what it is to be human. We breathe in and out throughout the day, but a little intention can make the process more profound, promoting physical well-being and rapidly quieting an anxious mind. Breathing provides oxygen to every part of the body, which can rapidly calm the nervous system. Breathing is free, and you can't leave your breath at home. You can do it anytime, anywhere! Why not make advantage of the instrument that you have?
2. Rethink Social Media
We are all born with the knowledge that an unhappy mind does not result from continuous scrolling. If you have the freedom and willpower, you can solve the problem by removing the apps for a certain amount of time or forever. And while many of us must remain somewhat bound to our feeds for work purposes, there are practices that can make the apps a more positive place to be. Set screen time limits and unfollow profiles and content makers that make you feel stressed out right away.
3. Grab Your Journal
Maintaining a journal can aid in stress reduction, mental clarity, and the creation of a schedule for your day and emotional terrain. Writing in your gorgeous notebook also helps you become more self-aware and is a great way to cultivate thankfulness, which is a habit that not only builds resilience but also stronger relationships and is associated with a reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression.
Make a note of the things you say to and about yourself in your journal. The use of supportive and comforting self-talk is key for letting go of self-judgment, silencing your inner critic, cultivating self-compassion, and reducing anxiety. To put it briefly, ensure that both your notebook and your mind are safe places.
4. Prioritize Rest
Like breathing, rest is essential to being human. By giving your body adequate time to recover and cleanse, getting enough sleep lowers your chance of illness, injury, and problems. The majority of us have discovered the hard way how much mood and mental health (and function) may be enhanced by getting a decent night's sleep. By getting enough sleep, we restore our energy and improve our cognitive abilities, which equips us to face obstacles head-on and emerge stronger.
5. Do Something You Love
Self-care activities don’t have to be unfamiliar to be effective—often, simply making time for a hobby that lights you up is all that’s required for a mental health boost. The activity itself doesn't matter as long as you genuinely enjoy it. She lists knitting, cooking, gardening, and puzzles as examples. The perfect activity is one that is simple, enjoyable, doesn't require a lot of time, and helps you forget about your problems. It might literally be anything that helps you decompress.

This week is a doorway. Your submission is critical.

Consider it a slow breath out.
POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY
It’s been another fine year for dismantling river barriers in Europe, with almost 500 removed in 15 countries across the continent.
The latest figures come from Dam Removal Europe (DRE), a coalition of river activists, volunteers and conservation bodies that aim to reverse biodiversity loss by restoring free-flowing waterways. DRE said that 487 dams, culverts, sluices and weirs were ripped down in 2023 – up nearly 50% on the previous year. France led the way with 156 barriers removed. The UK came in fifth with 36.
Overall, the initiatives reconnected 4,300km (2,672 miles) of waterways, and improved safety as well as habitats: for the first time, DRE’s annual report collected information on the dangers dams pose to recreational river users, linking them to 129 fatalities over recent years.
“From France to Finland, communities, companies and countries are investing in removing obsolete and increasingly risky barriers to improve river health for people and nature,” said Herman Wanningen, director of the World Fish Migration Foundation.
