SHARE

Self-care is crucial, especially during a crisis. Milwaukee Downtown used an Instagram poll to ask Milwaukeeans how they're taking care of themselves right now. Here’s what some of your MKE neighbors are doing to stay well while staying home. 

May these ideas inspire you to stay motivated, healthy and happy during these times. Try out something new, or offer your own advice to a friend. We’re in this together, and we can do it!
