Preparing for Thanksgiving? It's only 12 days away!

Here are a few ways to make it feel a little lighter and a lot less stressful 👇

📝 Plan ahead
Make a simple checklist—not a perfect one. Knowing what’s coming helps ease overwhelm.

🍽️ Share the load
You don’t have to do everything. Ask for help, assign dishes, or let someone else bring dessert.

⌛ Schedule breaks
Even a quick 5-minute pause to breathe, stretch, or step outside can reset your stress levels.

💬 Set realistic expectations
It doesn’t have to be perfect. Focus on connection over perfection.

🙏 Practice gratitude in small moments
A quiet thank-you, noticing something comforting, or reflecting on what’s gone well can shift your mindset.

🥧 And don’t forget to enjoy the food
Second helpings are totally acceptable. Third helpings? That’s “self-care” at that point. 😂

November is Men’s Health Awareness Month 💙

Did you know that men die by su***de at a rate nearly four times higher than women?

This month serves as a reminder to check in, speak up, and get involved. Whether it’s through community efforts like Movember, supporting local initiatives, or simply reaching out to someone who might be struggling.

Together, we can break the stigma and make mental health a priority for everyone. 💙

🕰️ Reminder: Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, so don’t forget to set your clocks back ⏰

That extra hour of rest can have real benefits:
💤 Even just 43 minutes more sleep a night can lower blood pressure and daytime sleepiness.
☀️ The extra morning light helps reset your circadian rhythm and boost mood.

But the change can also have downsides for some:
⚠️ Sudden shifts in sleep patterns can cause grogginess and irritability for up to a week.
💔 Disrupted sleep schedules are linked to increased risk of heart issues and stress.

Take this weekend to prioritize rest, self-care, and routine. Your mind and body will thank you 💙
