🎄 Day Four: Self‑Care Matters
Fairmount Behavioral Health
The holidays can pull you in a dozen directions at once. While you’re showing up for everyone else, it’s easy to forget the one person who needs your care the most — you.
Today is your reminder to pause, breathe, and give yourself the same compassion you offer others. Small acts of self‑care can restore your energy, protect your well‑being, and help you stay grounded through the season.
✨ Make space for rest.
✨ Set gentle boundaries.
✨ Choose moments that refill your cup.
✨ Let yourself slow down.
