What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self care means a short bout of time away from the duties of the farm, no matter how large or small, where either mental health is prioritized, or physical health is. It might be a quiet meal with someone you love, a massage or yoga class, or a comedy show with a friend.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would love to participate in a massage with some reflexology thrown in. While it would only cover one session, the benefits of that session would be felt for weeks.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Mental health breaks - something that causes your brain to shift away from the trials of a farm, and what needs to be done next in order to run a successful farm.”
