How many different colors can you spot? 🍂 Take a walk, slow down and notice the little things around you this fall. Sometimes, a change of scenery is all you need to pause and reset. #MYBCYM

World Mental Health Day is a reminder that mental health is something we can care for together. 💚 Today, check in on someone in your life. A simple “How are you, really?” can open the door to a meaningful conversation. Who can you check in on today? #MYBCYM

What started as a simple vision for feeding students healthy, whole, locally sourced food has grown into a nation-leading movement. I’m beyond proud of what California has accomplished with the Farm to School Program in just eight years: from pilot program to permanently funded and reaching more than half our K-12 students. Today at our annual luncheon, we celebrated the incredible partnerships with chefs, educators, parents, students, farmers, and so many more who come together around the table with a shared goal for our kids, economy, and climate.

Movement isn’t just about getting stronger or reaching a goal. It can change how you feel, too. Instead of worrying about what movement should look like, find what feels good to you. Your body is made to move, not meet someone else’s expectations.

Back-to-school season can be an adjustment for the whole family. 🎒 As kids settle into new classes, schedules, and routines, small moments of support at home can make a difference. A little patience can go a long way as your family creates its back-to-school rhythm. #MYBCYM

Our minds can get noisy, especially when we’re stressed or have a lot going on. You don’t have to figure out every thought the moment it shows up. Moving your body can give your mind a chance to reset, shift your focus and come back to the moment.

Who makes your day a little better? 💛 Maybe it’s the friend who always makes you laugh, the family member who checks in just because or the person who’s always there when you need them. Tag someone you’re glad to have in your corner. 🫶#MYBCYM

Feeling overwhelmed? Take a moment to reconnect with what’s around you. The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique uses your five senses to help bring your attention back to the present moment. Take your time, notice what’s around you and move through each step at your own pace. #MYBCYM

You don't need hours to recharge. Even 20 minutes can be enough to step away from your routine, move your body, and reconnect with the present moment. The next time your day feels busy, try taking a few minutes to get outside, give yourself a chance to reset.

The best motivation often comes on four paws. 🐾 A walk around the block, a visit to your favorite park or an evening stroll can be a simple way to move your body. This National Dog Day, grab the leash and head outside. 💚 Where's your dog's favorite place to walk?

Your notifications can wait for a few minutes. Take a short break to stretch, get some fresh air, or enjoy a walk before jumping back into your day. Small pauses can help you recharge and return feeling refreshed.

Sometimes the best way to care for yourself is to check in with how you're feeling. Small actions like taking a walk, stretching or spending a few minutes outside can help you reset and recharge throughout the day. 💚 How are you feeling today?

Summer has a way of reminding us to slow down and enjoy the little things. 🌻 Whether you have 20 minutes or an entire afternoon, spending time outside can help reduce stress, boost your mood, and leave you feeling more refreshed. ☀️

August is National Wellness Month—a reminder that caring for yourself doesn't have to mean making big changes. This month, focus on one or two small intentions that help you feel your best. ✨ What's one intention you're setting for August? Tell us in the comments.

Creating a calm corner doesn't have to be complicated. Find a quiet spot where you can take a few moments to reset. Add things that help you feel relaxed, like a cozy blanket, your favorite book, calming music, a candle, or a journal💙

Taking care of your well-being can start with noticing what you need. 💙 Maybe it’s rest, movement, fresh air, a conversation, or a quiet moment to slow down. There is no perfect answer, just a chance to listen to yourself with kindness.

What’s on your wellness playlist? 🎶 Music can be a simple way to move, reset, or shift your mood. Choose a song for: ☀️ Starting your day 💃 Moving your body 🧘 Slowing down 🌙 Winding down

How many of these games did you play growing up? ☀️ Before screens and smartphones, many of us stayed active by playing outside with friends and neighbors. Try them with your kids today and help them create memories of their own!
