2nd Self Care Tip From One of Our Staff

Enjoy our special self-care tip series for Activist Appreciation Month! Watch for them throughout February: www.idausa.org/activistmonth.

It can be hard to relax when your work involves an issue that you care about so deeply. Sometimes you can work yourself sick, because you want make the most of every opportunity to help animals. But the truth is, you can’t help anyone, including animals, unless you also take care of yourself. One thing that helps me unwind, is making time for at least one unrelated activity each week, and making it a routine. For me, it’s a ballet class, which brings a great deal of joy into my life (plus exercise, that I actually look forward to).
