Starting the new year strong!

This year I’m experimenting. I’m wondering if I can share different self-care strategies each day to help us build our self-care toolbox while also developing our Citizen Wellbeing Scientist mojo as a community. My sharing, might inspire your action, possibilities and even your sharing as well. So here we go, wish me luck.

Today's 3 Self-Care Micro-Moments: Starting the new year strong!

Time needed: Under 2 minutes each

1. Morning Reset (30 seconds)

What: Before checking phone, stretch arms up and set one intention for today

Notice: How your body feels waking up, what you need most today

Why: Creates mindful transition into workday, reduces reactive mode

2. Desk Pause (45 seconds)

What: Roll shoulders back, adjust posture, take three slow breaths

Notice: Areas of tension, quality of breathing

Why: Reduces physical strain, increases body awareness

3. Connection Start (30 seconds)

What: Share a quick "looking forward to..." message with a colleague

Notice: How small connections shape your workday energy

Why: Sets positive social tone, builds workplace relationships
