Self Care & mental health matters? …We've got you covered!!!



Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Self-care can play a role in maintaining your mental health. It means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health.

Here are some tips to help you get started with self-care:

1. Get regular exercise 
Just 30 minutes of walking every day can help boost your mood and improve your health. Small amounts of exercise add up, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t do 30 minutes at one time.

2. Eat healthy, regular meals, and stay hydrated 
A balanced diet and plenty of water can improve your energy and focus throughout the day. Also, limit caffeinated beverages such as soft drinks or coffee.

3. Make sleep a priority 
Stick to a schedule, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Blue light from devices and screens can make it harder to fall asleep, so reduce blue light exposure from your phone or computer before bedtime.

4. Try a relaxing activity 
Explore relaxation or wellness programs or apps, which may incorporate meditation, muscle relaxation, or breathing exercises. 

5. Set goals and priorities 
Decide what must get done now and what can wait. Learn to say “no” to new tasks if you start to feel like you’re taking on too much. Try to be mindful of what you have accomplished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do.

6. Practice gratitude 
Remind yourself daily of the things you are grateful for. Be specific. 

7. Focus on positivity 
Identify and challenge your negative and unhelpful thoughts.

8. Stay connected 
Reach out to your friends or family members who can provide emotional support and practical help.



We hope this helps.

  Really? What is the whole fuss about 2023? From the last quarter of 2022, certain humans all around the world were set in motion to drive in the minds of individuals, at least those who cared to listen,  the need to plan for the coming year. Even in PGT as of October, we began prepping really hard for our annual business plan meeting which was held in December. To think that we prepared as if we had not reviewed our business from January first to November. We had, but 2023 for us was going to be a huge deal and we were not taking it lightly. As we slowly but surely approached the last months, we constantly recited the words of the bible, WRITE DOWN THE VISION AND MAKE IT PLAIN'. Why did we do all this? Why start so early? This is because we know that no battle is won on the field. The winning starts from the planning and strategy stage... 2023, PGT is ready for you. Let the victories begin!
