Overwhelmed and feeling exhausted during these chaotic times? - https://mailchi.mp//overwhelmed-and-feeling-exhausted-duri The informal practice, self-compassion break, is a great practice that combines the three components of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and loving-kindness. It can be done as a mini-meditation or the phrases can be used whenever you encounter difficulties in your life as a reminder that you're doing the best that you can in the moment.

Do you cringe and the term self-care? Does it feel like it's for the privileged few who have enough time or money? Self-care isn't about the fancy, costly things - most of the time it's a discipline and it's about deeply loving yourself enough to take care of your own wellbeing. AWE retreats do just that - we help you re-prioritize your wellbeing by helping you practice mindful self-compassion and understand what you really need to do to care for yourself!! Next one is in February - reach out for more details. "Everything, including self-care, grows out of self-love. You first have to care enough about yourself to take care of yourself."

Educators are realizing that their wellbeing is important and practicing saying NO to what does not help their wellbeing. Learn more about the AWE method in this "NO"vember newsletter. https://mailchi.mp/8e28368aaf54/saying-no-in-november

What are you saying yes to this month to care for yourself??

Benefits of a self-compassion practice: * Increases motivation * Boosts happiness * Improves body image * Enhances self-worth... * Fosters resilience * And reduces mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, and stress. Last couple spots are up for grab! Registration closes this weekend.
