This week I had the privilege of talking to Kristina Naydonova, who published her debut novel earlier this year aged 12! She's now 13 and showing us all how it's done.
Here are Kristina's self-care tips for preventing stress and burnout:
- get enough sleep
- drink enough water
- eat healthy meals
- meditate (this is the app Kristina recommends (https://appadvice.com/app/meditation-nest/1460053458) and this is the app I mention: ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yoga.meditation.yogamusic.meditationmusic )
- practice mindfulness
- keep a journal for your successes and assess failures to make tomorrow better
- try art therapy
- Your body and mind will make it clear when you need a break. Don't ignore them.
