Wellness Wednesday- Tip 4

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesdays. You pour love into your dog every day—it’s time to pour some back into yourself. Here’s a quick, wellness tip to help you stay resilient and present.

Prioritizing an enjoyable personal activity: You need a ‘you’ thing. Commit to 15 minutes of a non-dog activity every day—reading, knitting, or a hobby. This creates mental space and reminds you that you are a whole person. A fulfilled pet parent is a better caregiver.

You may find yourself experiencing a range of emotions during this difficult time. Reach out to your friends and family for support. If you’d like more help, www.psychologytoday.com and https://zencare.co/ are good places to search for professional support.
