 happy women's month. Wellness is very important for women in librarianship. I asked library leaders for recommendations on women's wellness for this video. First I would like to share my recommendation. It is about getting enough sleep. That is very helpful with decision-making and having clear thinking. Now let's hear about other recommendations. Hi my name is Jana Recabrera and I'm the current president of the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association. My favorite wellness strategy is to go for a short walk in the middle of the day maybe maybe during your lunch. I find that it helps me clear my head and give me a break from my work environment. Hi my name is Sandy Hirsch and I'm an associate dean at San Jose State University. One of my favorite wellness strategies is to move a little bit every day whether that's taking the stairs up to a meeting or taking an extra walk to stretch my legs every hour. But my favorite activity is to ride my indoor fitness bike which I do try to do as many times a week as I possibly can. I find it energizes me and it gives me a chance to clear my mind and it makes me feel good to exercise my muscles throughout the day. One of my favorite wellness strategies is to take a sunshine break. I know it's very easy for us to spend our entire days indoors but it's important to get sunlight every single day. Sunlight has many health benefits. Not only does it allow us to produce vitamin D which is important for our bone and muscle health it also boosts our brain chemicals to allow us to focus more to have more energy and to sleep better at night. So remember to take some sunshine breaks every day and believe me your body will thank you for it. Hi everyone my name is Robin Kier. I'm an academic librarian in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and my wellness strategies for women in librarianship is to get out in nature right. So just like I am right now take a break take a walk if you can go out take your book take it outside go see some trees listen to the birds and experience a de-stressing natural moment that always seems to work for me so I hope it will work for you. I am Nichelle M. Hayes. Wellness is best when it's kept to the basics. Movement that you enjoy for me that's walking and gardening balance nutrition adequate hydration and sleep maintain a good work-life balance remember to use your time off seek joy outside of librarianship remember we are more than our job titles be well
