Work has been really challenging recently and not in a positive way. The last two weeks have been especially draining and damaging. Luckily my life is more than just my job.

Traditional Volunteerism

• 4 hours Crisis Text Line

Charitable Giving

• $0

Personal Kindnesses

• I’ve not let this stress at work effect how I treat people. I still show up with a smile on my face. This takes a lot of effort but I’m still doing it.

Self Care

• I started acupuncture this week. I think it’s really going to help with my stress level and self care going forward. I did acupuncture a long time ago for a rough case of sciatica and it worked like magic. Hopefully it will do the same with this stress and the effects it’s having on my body.
• Ice cream with a friend is one of my favorite self care strategies. We tried a new place this week and it was great!
