- Practice mindfulness: Take 5 minutes each day to sit quietly and focus on your breath. This can help center you and clear your mind.
- Set intentions: Each morning, ask yourself what you want to prioritize. This will help guide your choices throughout the day.

Quality Over Quantity
- Evaluate friendships: Surround yourself with people who uplift you. It’s better to have a few close friends than a large circle of acquaintances.
- Set boundaries: Don’t hesitate to establish boundaries that protect your time and energy.
6. Cultivate a Self-Care Routine

Less is More

Protect Your Energy

Find Your Tribe
