Self Care Series: Jennifer Betit Yen

Today’s self care tip is from Jennifer Betit Yen!

For me, especially now during this pandemic, I find helping others is my form of self care because so many people are feeling isolated, lonely and afraid right now.  When we help others - and it can be done in very small, easy, safe ways - we actually boost our own serotonin levels and lower our blood pressure, making us feel calmer and happier.  So, from fostering a shelter dog to zoom tutoring at risk youth to helping people transition to plant based eating through peta’s virtual mentoring program, we can virtually and safely connect with others and make them feel better and more connected, while making ourselves feel better and more connected at the same time.
