We often hear “take care of yourself,”  yet when life gets stressful or our calendars get full, we tend to push aside the basics of good self-care. This microlearning session will explore some challenges and barriers that many face when it comes to prioritizing self-care, examine why it’s a vital thing to make time for, and provide various resources for stress management, including tips for fitting self-care into busy schedules.
