<\/a>Sometimes you have too many things to say that they all get jumbled up in your head. When this happens to me, I have to completely step away from it all and just let my mind work it out. That\u2019s what has happened recently when I was trying to decide on a blog topic for the end of the term. (And hey, you wanna write something. Just email.)<\/p>\nI have a whole lot of thoughts about things that have been circulating about higher education and the world and women and well, you get the idea. But there are so many thoughts, I can\u2019t find an angle to focus on. To try get me moving in the right direction, I did what I normally do, and that is, think in terms of a bulleted list that will fit on a sticky note.<\/p>\n
I asked myself, \u201cwhat would I put on a self-care list to remind me that things will be ok?\u201d What phrases or advice would I give myself or others at times of high (work) stress, like the end of the term.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what I came up with: And when I had written this list, I realized that each of these has been the topic of an existing blog. Maybe one or two will resonate with you and help ease you through.<\/p>\n These are good reminders as we move into the \u201cbreak,\u201d which is a time that can still remain stressful with holiday commitments or over planning our schedules (and then feeling disappointed when we don\u2019t accomplish things).<\/p>\n Let me encourage you to be kind to yourself<\/a>. Do fun things and focus on just being you.<\/p>\n Wishing you a peaceful and joyful end of the term.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
