Keys to Embracing Aging is a Cooperative Extension educational health intervention aimed at improving overall health by focusing on ways in which individuals and families can be empowered to take control of their own lifestyle decisions and behaviors in terms of health and well-being. To demonstrate behavior change regarding “me time,” the program included a 30-day follow-up evaluation. Of the 6 who were sent follow-up evaluations, 6 were returned. 6 reported that they implemented at least one strategy to take more time for oneself. Specifically, participants reported that they: got out and ate alone more often and spent more time on themselves with coloring and relaxing.
