During times of stress, it is essential to focus on maintaining and developing tactics that support us in maintaining our self-care. This includes ensuring we are eating enough, getting enough water, and sticking to a sleep routine. Sometimes self-care is very practical, and it can just make sure we are putting food into our bodies. So, show yourself some love, and care by joining us at Cooking for Wellness!
