I have lost momentum on some of the ways that I care for myself, and this is a really helpful question to ask in those unscheduled moments.  I don't always need to be doing the MOST productive thing, but there is some downtime that's restorative and some that's not.]]> 2020-10-30 19:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/877630911 lgioshmarkov https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/878898462 Similar to what Lucy Hone says- Life Happens- my recent mantra has been "It's not going to go away. Just deal with it."  This seems to help me be more active in making sure I am choosing fulfilling, meaningful activities that move me forward. ]]> 2020-10-31 18:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/878898462 lgioshmarkov https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/878902089 I love the expression 'Toxic positivity.' The article has clear steps to take care of yourself (and avoid TP) When I am having a hard time, I appreciate someone just listening and empathizing, hearing me work out my thoughts or express feelings. After that, I'm usually ready for questions like those in the ascd article- i.e. what can you learn; what is your next milestone? etc.]]> 2020-10-31 18:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/878902089 lgioshmarkov https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/878911128 Being more active in the arts- music, art, dance, theatre, and creativity in all the new technology versions is key for me- even if it's just for myself- doesn't have to be a project or shared...]]> 2020-10-31 18:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/878911128 https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/mnh9ua1vc69fqwx5/wish/882341824 I feel like after a specific experience that was quite traumatic for me, I can take on anything and survive.  So while COVID has been hard and exhausting and nerve wracking, it has not stressed me out as much as some other people.  I think one of my resiliency skills is being able to keep things in perspective.  
While I have done some self-care I have not been able to do much that was meaningful or helpful.  I have gotten very lazy and need to get motivated again.  We moved around the world, and have so much going on.  I appreciated the article mentioning expats and travel- that is something a lot of people are grieving about.  Myself included.  Hopefully I can use some of those skills and get myself centered and started.
Thanks
