Steps Counseling Center

I recently read an article recently that referenced “the BIG four” and the simplicity of it really stuck with me:
1. Diet
2. Exercise/movement
3. Stress management
4. The avoidance of addictive substances

This is a useful part of counseling practice as a measure and tool of the importance of self care. Many people are coping with loss, challenges in the worksite, changes, and health issues. I just wanted to post this as a helpful reminder to find time to self care in “the big four”.
