<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It’s a busy time of year. We all have a lot to do. As the weather improves but our workloads continue to stagger and the pressures of our roles mount in varied ways, please take a moment to step away. Take
lunch outside or take a break with a colleague. Step into nature alone or make a personal phone call. These are simple things that we all do sporadically and at our own discretion, but these simple acts of self-care are endorsed and encouraged. It’s easy to
forget ourselves during the workday and to get pulled into the routines, cycles, and calendar demands that drive us. We’re all just a little bit better if we make time to remember ourselves too. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
