What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means taking time to address discomfort in my body and be proactive to maintain and build physical strength. The past few winters I've gone to the YMCA or gym to lift weights, move my body, and hang out with friends while doing it!”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “These funds would cover an 8-week membership to a tailored training strength program with Labor Movement and a month of my membership fees to the YMCA. This will help me beat the winter blues and help me to maintain my current level of fitness through the winter.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “Physical health and mobility are crucial to my ability to continue doing this work.”
