Today’s Wellness Wednesday quote is, Take care of yourself, stay refreshed, and stress less. As you end your day, remember to squeeze in some self-care if you haven’t done so already. Making yourself a priority leads to less stress and anxiety. For some, self-care can mean working on a jigsaw puzzle and for others it may be looking at pictures and videos of cute animals. How do you practice self-care?

Don't get caught offside on COVID. For the Big Game this Sunday, avoid in-person parties to minimize community spread of the virus. Gathering virtually or with the people you live with is the safest way to cheer on your team this year. If you do have a small gathering with people who don't live with you, move the party outdoors, wear masks and maintain social distancing guidelines. Do your part to hold the line on COVID.
