Take 15 minutes each day just for yourself-no phone, no distractions. Use it to breathe, stretch, journal, or simply be still. It resets your mind and helps prevent burnout. – Zahra

Learn to be confident in saying no as a whole sentence. Setting healthy boundaries for yourself is a wonderful gift – Angie

A daily walk in the fresh air is great for mental health. – Kate

No matter what, your health comes first. – Prachi
