Maybe you’re missing a departed loved one. Maybe you’re dreading spending time with difficult family members. Self care can sometimes make us feel guilty about taking the time required to take care of ourselves during the Holidays. Getting started with self-care can be challenging for many of us! Self-care involves focusing on yourself and taking time to rest, reflect, replenish, and renew. Join us as we look at how self care can support us during the holiday season.
