Ideas for Thanksgiving Break Self-care:
1) Know your social battery & take 10 minutes of quiet to help reset if needed.
2) Spend time being present in nature, take a walk outside.
3) Name at least one (more if you'd like) thing you’re grateful for. Your gratitude doesn’t have to be forced or profound... warm blankets, good food, people who get you all count!
4) Balance rest & productivity so you can return to finish the semester feeling prepared.
5) Make time for those activities that bring you joy.
6) Connect with those that support you and appreciate you for who you are!

🌰 Start small, breathe deep, and let the season be gentle. We are thankful for you!

Today is World Kindness Day! Take a moment to show a little extra kindness to yourself and others today. This can mean speaking to yourself the way you would to a valued friend, reaching out for help when you need it, & offering help to others.

Small acts of kindness (or even a smile or message) can change someone's day.
