Self-care rituals

Dr Carolyn Lam shares how she maintains balance in her life while juggling her work, business and family

1

I am largely vegan, though not overly strictly!

2

We have a Friday movie night tradition and won’t schedule meetings during this time. I only watch movies that I feel I’ll enjoy a lot or make me a better person—i don’t want to watch something that will create darkness or negativity.

3

We try to have one device-free day a week where we do not use our devices. We try to make it happen on a Saturday, though we don’t always succeed!

4

I stay anchored through faith, with prayer and meditation.

5

I try to do something active every day. Besides running and HIIT, I try to focus on strength training, balance and flexibility.
