Cards, gifts and ways to connect.

“Taking time to take care of myself can feel too self-indulgent. But a friend reminded me of the rule on a plane, where you have to put your own oxygen mask on before you can care for others. That hit home for me.”

– Trish B.

To support someone with their self-care, consider sending gift cards for healthy restaurants, being an “exercise buddy” or just sharing the occasional encouraging word.

A healthy life is one supported by a connection to others. Be there for your friend on the phone, via text, email, cards or letters, and in person when you can.

“Everyone should take an active role in finding and preserving their own well-being, health and happiness.” – Melvina Y.
