Not your average self-care tips from Georgian staff

It’s International Self-care Day! What do you do to take care of yourself?

Georgian staff love to dance!

Here are 12 tips from college staff:

Create joyful rituals — small things you can do to feel good every day.
Start a high vibes file — a physical or online place where you can document nice things people say about you, things you’re proud of or inspirational quotes you can read when feeling down.
Choose carefully how you spend your spare time. Do your friends and social activities deplete your energy or replenish it?
Be a goof. Engage in at least 20 minutes of play every day.
Have a nap. It’s amazing what 10 or 20 minutes of zzzzzs can do.
Do a regular social media dump. Hide, delete or unfollow negative content and people.
Spend time each week learning something new.
Bust a move! Turn up the tunes and dance in the car, in the kitchen, in the grocery store aisle, wherever.
Do something today your tomorrow self will thank you for, e.g., knock something off your to-do list you’ve been avoiding.
Listen to your gut more when making decisions, large or small.
Approach mindless activities more mindfully. Try being fully present when doing everyday tasks like brushing your teeth or pouring a cup of tea.
Be kinder to yourself. Mistakes and regrets are opportunities to learn.
