🌿 Mental Health Tip of the Week 🌿

Let’s talk about mental rest — something we often forget we need.

You’ve probably heard about getting enough sleep, but what about giving your mind a break during the day?

✅ Step away from screens for a few minutes.
✅ Sit in silence, even for 5 minutes.
✅ Do a “mind dump” by jotting down everything swirling in your head.
✅ Go for a short walk without a podcast or playlist.

These tiny pauses help your brain recharge — so you can feel clearer, calmer, and more present.

💬 What helps you reset during the day? We’d love to hear it in the comments!
