Self Care by Ashleigh Robles

HotWorx

My favorite form of self care is working out. I have not always been disciplined enough to be consistent with going, but Hotworx is my favorite place to get a good sweat in.

I love to go after a long day. The classes I take are 15 minutes long, and I can always tell a huge difference in the way I feel afterwards. My favorite classes are cycle and hot blast. In the work out sauna, I usually put it at 130 degrees. I sweat a lot but feel so accomplished after!

Friends and Family

I love to hang out with friends and family. When I am struggling, they truly do not know how much better they make it for me just by being present. I love to go to concerts, go bowling, go watch a movie, or really anything that will take my mind off of work or school.

Importance of Self Care

I truly believe that self care can make or break you. It is something that you have to be proactive about because if you wait too long it could catch up to you. From personal experience, I know that when I did not partake in healthy self care strategies, I would turn to unhealthy vices such as overeating or binge drinking. I believe that now that I fully understand why I would turn to those things, it is easier for me to indulge in healthier options.

Take Away

The biggest take away is the need for increasing adult SEL. I had never heard this and think it is a great idea to introduce to all schools and staff members.

Reading

I love to read for self care too! I started the Harry Potter series during the summer and am now on the 4th book. I love it! I have learned you are never too old to find a new favorite book to read!
