What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means I make space to solely care for me, taking respite from caring for my animals, my partner, my landmates, my interns, my customers. Self-care means I reclaim a small amount of mental space for just myself. A longer-term self-care practice would look like repeating this experience more than once! Flexing a new muscle, creating a new routine.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I crave both the bodywork and the deep breathing and quiet time of a massage.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “Definitely physical bodywork. Also talk therapy, as an individual, as well as part of a farmer support group. A regular yoga routine with meditation would be ideal.”
