STEM Baddies Group

💕 Today we’re celebrating women everywhere 💕 and especially us women in STEM who keep pushing boundaries, solving problems, and opening doors for the next generation.

To every woman learning, leading, building, researching, teaching, creating, and innovating: your work matters, your voice matters, and you belong here. Thank you for being awesome and doing the hard work, it's not easy.

🚀 Drop a comment to celebrate a woman who inspires you (a mentor, friend, family member, scientist, engineer, creator, anyone). If you’d like, share what she does and why she motivates you.

What's one way you keep up on your spiritual/emotional hygiene? Weird question maybe but still, how do you protect yourself from energy drainers such as people trying to bring you down, traffic, impending deadlines, etc.?

For me, at the end of the day I do some somatic shaking, audible exhales, and bouncing around. This helps me get rid of all the crap from the day that's accumulated so I can rest peacefully (sometimes it works). During the day, I make sure to take many breaks and walk around the office and try to remember to stop every so often to close my eyes and just breathe for a minute. It actually really helps when I remember to do it!

I'd love to hear some of your tips or weird things you do to keep you sane!
