Summer is a time to rest and recharge

Posted on by Daniela Travierso

Rest is one of the most important aspects of your self-care plan. Remind yourself of what you can do to recharge and build your own self-care action plan.

What is self-care? It’s any action you take to maintain and improve your health, whether physical or mental, because as we know they’re intrinsically related. Our busy schedules naturally make us think we don’t have time for it, but now more than ever is the time to build self-care into your daily schedule. A recent study has shown that self-care leads to increased self-confidence, productivity and happiness. It can also reduce the likelihood of chronic disease.

Building self-care into your daily routine is the key to success. Remind yourself of the few things we can do every day to check-in with ourselves using our 2-minute mental wellbeing check-in:

Our mental wellbeing strategy focuses on providing resources, education, and raising awareness throughout the organization to let our teammates know that support is here.

Visit SobeysMentalWellbeing.com to learn more about self-care and access the support resources available to you, your family and your fellow Safeway teammates. Below is a summary of a few of those resources.
