Diana's Healing Message for September

Hello Courageous Survivors and welcome to September!  September is a very special month for Courageous Survivors as it will host its second Evening of Hope on September 28th from 6-9pm.  More information can be found at this link https://www.courageoussurvivors.org/eventseveningofhope23

September is sometimes referred to as the first of the ‘ber’ months when Fall appears. It becomes cooler and we begin to think of the holidays.  For many of us the holidays can be a time of struggle and we must remember self care.  Below please find several tips to keep in mind as we head towards the holidays

Self-Care for the Holidays

• Get enough sleep, schedule downtime, and nourish yourself. A hectic holiday schedule, with frequent travel or many social obligations to fulfill, can lead to exhaustion and a lack of sleep, which increases stress

• Take a break from social media and set realistic expectations

• Slow down and breathe

• Call a loved one and connect

• Acknowledge your grief

• Move your body

• Meditate

Blessings and hope today and always

Diana
