November Updates

The holidays are just around the corner. You have entered the long stretch until winter break. The idea of break brings some hope and reprieve. But you still have a long way to go to get there, and lots of chaos in between. School stresses may include grading, holiday parties, and managing student excitement. Home stresses also increase during this time including planning for holidays, managing relatives, and managing expectations. But there's lots of good that comes during this time too. Time with friends and family. Celebrating. Laughing.

For now until the end of the year, we encourage you to take things slow, do what you can, and find the joy when it is available. In our workshops, we talk about the ABC model, focusing on awareness, balance, and connection. For the next few weeks, try the ABC model - holiday edition.

A - Awareness
- Take a minute to ask, how do I feel right now
- Have I only eaten candy canes today?
- Do I need to rest? Am I pushing myself too hard?
- What do I need most right now?
- Take in the sights and sounds of the seasons? What do you enjoy the most?

B - Balance
- Balance between working and resting
- Balance between celebrating and reflecting
- Balance between helping others and letting others help you
- Balance between hustle and bustle and silent night

C - Connection
- Who are the close people you want to spend time with
- Where are the communities you want to interact with
- What celebrations do you want to join
- When do you spend time alone to recharge

Above all, care for yourselves and each other and have a wonderful holiday season!
