MOD: Q2 – What is your biggest challenge with self care this semester? #SAChat
Q2: I struggle with the narrative I often hear w/in SA of "it's ok to lose oneself for the sake of a busy semester/quarter". #SAchat

A2: (again) – another has been the crazy and sad social issues – letting ppl vent/cry/talk & not always taking time to do so myself #sachat

MOD: Q4 – What is one way you integrate wellness into your daily work routine? #SAChat
A4: Lunch outside my office or away from my computer, with no appointments is a must! I need the time alone to recharge. #sachat

A4. I work out every day at 5:30am and I leave campus everyday at lunch to eat at home. Both give me clarity. #SAChat

MOD: As we close the chat, what is your Final Thought (FT) or Final Question (FQ) that you’d share with the group? #SAChat
FT Self care looks different to everyone. Don't defend your own practices. Don't judge others. It's all different but we all need it #SAChat
— Amanda Rae Koslow (@amanda_koslow) November 3, 2016
FT: wellness is gift that keeps giving. You are healthier, better colleague, friend & better person to those you go home to. #SAChat
