National Wellness Month

Every August, National Wellness Month encourages individuals to make self-care a priority, build healthy routines, and support their mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re focusing on hydration, movement, mindfulness, or simply slowing down, this month is your reminder to put yourself first.

Here are Five Habits for Self-Care:

Drinking lots of water: The smallest act of self-care that can make a great impact is drinking lots of water every day. Stay hydrated and your body will feel better.

Get your sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to a decline in mental and physical health. Commit to getting a full 8 hours of sleep every night as part of self-care.

Exercise: Just 30 minutes of walking every day can help boost your mood and improve your health. Commit to exercising every day for better wellness.

Try a relaxing activity: Activities like yoga, hiking, reading books, listening to music or painting can improve your mood and are a great commitment to improving your health and wellness.

Practice gratitude and positivity: You are what you think. Take time to practice gratitude and positivity when reflecting on life.

2025 Hurricane Preparedness Week
To raise awareness about the dangers posed by hurricanes and tropical storms — it's not just about the wind — and encourage people to prepare early for storms, the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service have established May 4-10 as Hurricane Preparedness Week.
The week covers various topics each day, providing valuable information for those new to hurricanes and good reminders to seasoned Florida residents.
Early predictions are for a "volatile hurricane" season in 2025, with above-normal activity.
Colorado State University forecasters ranked Florida No. 1 when it comes to the probability of a named storm coming within 50 miles, at 92%.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
The National Hurricane Center will begin issuing tropical outlooks on May 15, highlighting any tropical disturbances showing potential for development.
Hurricane Preparedness Week 2025 is May 4-10, focusing on a different topic each day. Here are the Sunday and Monday topics.
