So what would you like to celebrate about yourself?

Use your first name and then write down words that make you feel good…and tell us why!

I’m Mona and I’ll start:

M = Maple syrup: My new favorite sweetener. I love putting it on anything I can.

O = Obama: I’m super inspired by his presidency and all the possibilities it helps me see. I’m capable of so much more than I imagine I am.

N = Neighbors: The house next door to us has been empty and some of our friends are moving in at the end of the month.

A = Algebra: After a lifetime of trying to avoid math and not liking it, I’m so excited about reteaching it to myself with a book called Algebra The Easy Way.

Okay, your turn…

It’s pretty easy to get wrapped up in our daily activities:

- Working on the computer…

- Running errands…

- Cleaning the house…

- Working at our job…

- Taking care of our family…

And sometimes we can almost forget about ourselves in the process…

So when you can remember, ask yourself this little question:

“Do I need some water, a snack, a stretch, or a snack right now?”

Just that little self-care question can help you be kinder to yourself even on the busiest of days.

Give it a try…

And of course ask yourself the question right now…

Then take just a few minutes to give yourself what your body needs…
