Why Self-Care Matters

These prompts are quick, so you can fit them into your busy day.

3 Self-Care Tips and Prompts

  • Find Your Calm with Gentle Movement
    Tip: Try prenatal yoga or a short walk to boost energy and ease aches—just check with your doctor first. Even 10 minutes can feel amazing.
    Prompt: “What’s one way you moved your body today that felt good?”
    Reflecting on this helps you celebrate movement and plan more of it.

  • Nourish Your Body and Soul
    Tip: Keep healthy snacks like fruit or nuts handy for quick energy, and treat yourself to a favorite (safe) indulgence now and then. Balance is key!
    Prompt: “What’s a food or drink that made you feel nourished today?”
    Writing this down reminds you to prioritize nutrition and joy.

  • Pause for a Mindful Moment
    Tip: Take five minutes to breathe deeply, meditate, or just sit quietly. It’s a reset for your busy mind.
    Prompt: “What’s one moment today where you felt calm or centered?”
