💪August 18th is World Never Give Up Day💪

Today is a reminder that "resilience is a universal human trait."

💞Being resilient doesn’t mean you avoid stress or pain. It means you move through it and lean on the people who support you.

We can begin to 'build' our resilience by focusing on our self care.🏗️

The things we do for our physical wellbeing can help us regulate, reset or recharge to be able to face the challenges in our day- to- day life.

3 things we can do for our physical wellbeing:
1. Contact 🤗
- Hugs, fist bumps, and high fives all boost connection and help the body reset.
2. Movement🤸
- Regular movement helps your body clear stress chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline, easing things like headaches, tense muscles and an upset stomach.
3. Sleep😴
- Lack of sleep affects clear thinking, memory, and how you handle stress. A steady nightly routine helps your body recharge and boosts overall wellbeing.

Use this day as your encouragement to 'Never Give Up'.
