Our second judge, Elyse Fox, is a director, model and mental health activist. As a longtime advocate for mental health awareness, the concept that self-care is becoming a part of our everyday conversation makes me hopeful for the future.”
“I am thrilled to join this year’s judges panel in the Doodle for Google contest as the theme is ‘I care for myself by,’ which is a topic close to my heart. “Art is something that has always been an important part of my life,” she says. One of her personal passions is starting conversations around mental health, and in 2019 she founded the Rare Impact Fund, pledging to raise $100 million for mental health services for individuals in underserved communities. Selena Gomez is a Grammy-nominated artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. The panel will help us determine our 54 state and territory winners and five national finalists, one of whom will go on to be the national grand prize winner. This year’s judges are all passionate about self-care and wellness. What do they do to feel better when they’re feeling down? How do they approach taking a break? What activities make them feel calm or give them energy? What or who brings them joy? Our theme this year invites students to share how they take care of their minds, bodies and spirits as they face the opportunities and challenges every new day brings. We’re asking students to share how they nurture themselves in tough times. The 2022 contest theme is, “I care for myself by…”. So the theme of self-care felt fitting for our 14th annual Doodle for Google student contest. The past few years have been marked by uncertainty, and students in particular have been profoundly impacted in the way they learn, socialize and approach health. I had to be intentional in rethinking how I structured my days and build in time for self-reflection, care and introspection. But the pandemic and the shift to new ways of working and living forced me to re-examine my mindset. I took pride in productivity and living a fast-paced life. I loved checking items off my to-do list, saying yes to everything and filling my week with social plans. I used to be the type of person who took pride in filling my days up.
