Fostering Horizontal Respect ——- Tip #4

Share This

Fostering Tip 4#4 Make self-care a priority. It’s hard to be a decent human being when you’re stressed, sleep deprived, and abusing food, alcohol, or other substances. Get enough sleep, use journaling for venting and self-reflection, keep up with routine medical care, and partake in diversionary activities such as dabbling in the arts, taking a nature walk, or playing sports. Use relaxation modalities, such as meditation, massage, and deep breathing. Develop personal and professional support systems.
