While the holidays are often called “the most wonderful time of the year,” they can also bring stress, grief, and loneliness. Prioritize you this season.

Here are a few simple ways to care for your well-being:

Self-care essentials
❤️ Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night (and take short naps if needed).
❤️ Eat balanced, healthy meals—your body and mind will thank you.
❤️ Get active: A 30-minute walk or stretch can make a difference.
❤️ Enjoy silence: Take 15 minutes a day to pause, breathe, or meditate.

Find your focus
👁️‍🗨️ Build a daily routine: Small steps—like brushing your teeth and eating breakfast—help you stay grounded.
👁️‍🗨️ Take regular breaks to reset your mind and improve focus.

Check out the online wellness resources from AU Counselling Services
🧠 Talk to friends, family, or others in your community—connection matters.
🧠AU Counselling Services and wellness resources are here for you.

You’re not alone this season. AU is here to support your mental health and well-being. LINK IN BIO for full article and links to resources.
