What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means putting my needs in the forefront for a while. To listen to what my body and mind needs. The better I take care of my body, the better farmer I can be.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use the award for a massage. It really helps with my trigger points and sore muscles. I can shut my mind off and just relax.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “It's taking care of the physical and mental needs. If I am sore and struggling, it's hard to keep up or make progress on projects. I have had a couple of massages and have come out relaxed.”
