But like …

Self-care is defined differently for everyone. For some, it may look like bubble baths and yoga. For others, it might be taking a walk in the sunshine or spending time with a beloved pet.

Negative self-talk and self-doubt popped up the instant I got in the driver’s seat from the moment I failed my first driving test at 16 years old.

You could say this is a stressful time as I navigate what my post grad life will look like. When I experience stress there are a couple different ways …
Hi, I’m Beth and I am the Operations Manager at 1N5. I’m a wife, mom, grandma, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and a dog-lover. I work and I play and sometimes I struggle with my mental health. As today’s 1N5 guest blogger, I’d like to share my self-care thoughts. Doofenschmirtz (AKA Doof) is my rescue pup but I’m not sure who …
