You made it! Another semester in the books. How do you feel? Now is the time for rest and rejuvenation. You deserve it. Listen to what your body needs and follow the clues.

 

There's usually all sorts of feelings happening this time of year. Feelings of exhaustion with a sigh of relief. Feelings of accomplishment. Feelings of worry or shame if your semester didn't go as planned. You might be excited for break or not if things are complicated at home.

 

Try to welcome it all. Remind yourself of how far you've come and how much more you have in you. What you're doing is significant. Your work matters. You are making progress toward your goals, even if it sometimes doesn't feel like it.

 

I'll speak on behalf of our TRIO/McNair community by saying we are so proud of you! Do what you need to do during break. Most importantly, do what feels feasible and good to you, minus other people's expectations.

 

I'm signing off with intentions to rest, reflect and be present. Get excited about what you will create in the New Year! I'll be back in your inbox on January 2nd and would love for you to sign up for our first monthly mindfulness workshop being held on January 3rd.

If you want to be more calm and focused next semester - join us! I'll teach you a simple mindfulness technique you can practice a few minutes each day to train your brain to FOCUS. We can even practice together when you join Our Daily Breathe! ✨

 

Peace and love to you. 💚❤️
