My biggest "take away" from reviewing the recommended resources was learning about ways to promote SEL for adults in the workplace. The most profound information that I learned were all the strategies we can put into practice to improve our performance in our professions.

I believe that self-care is an imperative aspect in the counseling profession because it enables counselors to take care of others. After reading through the resources, I have learned that in the "helping professions," performance is much better when these professionals feel refueled and recharged.

To ensure that I am taking care of myself while serving others, I have worked on improving my physical health. I strive to get at least 8 hours of sleep, eat healthy meals/snacks, and exercise at least three times a week. It's amazing how much our physical health impacts our mental health. Additionally, I set deadlines and goals for myself to keep me organized.

This is a picture of me at Grindstone Lake in New Mexico. I like to spend my leisure time with my family exploring the outdoors. Spending time outside and breathing fresh air is so good for all of us.
