Anonymous Answer

Usually, after a stressful day or week, I try to take some time for myself to relax, by reading a book, enjoying a walk in nature, or hiking somewhere I have never been before. Cooking while listening to jazz music has become recently a hobby that really relaxes me. Taking good care of myself outside of work and reducing stress allows me to be my best while I'm at work. Balance is so important.

Stephanie's Feedback

It sounds like you've developed some great self-care strategies to help you manage your work-related stress! To round this answer out, I suggest adding a closing sentence to tie back to your work. For example: "Taking good care of myself outside of work and reducing stress allows me to be my best while I'm at work. Balance is so important."
