ART FROM THE HEART. Support These Artists! 100% of the money goes to the Diverse Ability Artist who created the art work. I work for Beconnected Support Services as an Art Therapist. They are a great company for many reasons, but especially because they understand the importance of THE ARTS.

Yesterday I shared about a personal experience with sensory overload, but today I want to talk about how living during a global pandemic can impact sensory over...load. Given the restrictions that have been put in place, the lack of support, and being around our partner + children more than usual, we likely are feeling overstimulated. We may not have access to the same support that we previously had. This can leave us feeling helpless. The truth is, we can still create space to recharge during these times. Our efforts will take creativity. Our efforts will also look different than they did pre-Covid, but they are still worthwhile. I tell parents to do what they need to create room for pause. This may look like: Allowing your kids to use technology while you take quiet time Practicing quiet time as a family in separate spaces (if safe and age-appropriate) Using nap time as a time to recharge rather than finish a chore Setting up a quiet activity for your kids that will allow you to sit down and rest Telling your partner or support person that you would like scheduled time each day to be alone (even if you’re in another room) If you’re up for it, waking up before everyone else Are you struggling with this? How do you take time for pause?
