Have you ever purposely taken the time out of your hectic week just to relax? Or do you forget to put your own needs first like many of us do? The Explore! Series: Card Making Workshop reminded me how important self-care is. Doing a creative activity helped decrease my stress and allow me to focus better afterward. Here are some of the cards that I made! I did not have any scissors and used all the materials given to me. My favorite card is the pink one. During the workshop, I wrote my 8 year-old sister a message since we both miss each other so much. I plan on mailing it to her and hopefully make her smile! But even if she doesn’t (which she will), at least I took time to destress. I plan on making that more of a priority this semester, now more than ever. I can’t wait to join everyone for another activity next week!
