"Help Yourself First"
Every time you step on a plane the flight crew reminds you to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. Grief survival is a lot like in-flight safety. The only way to stay strong and emotionally available for the people in your life is to take care of yourself first.
Rest is not a four-letter word. Technically it is, but not the bad kind. Rest doesn’t have to mean doing nothing. During this challenging season, some creative ways for you to refresh might be:
● watching a funny movie or play,
● going to a favorite lake, to the beach or to the mountains,
● painting, singing or drawing,
● taking a break from 24-hour news channels,
● meet a friend for coffee or dinner.
Even if you don’t have a cruise on the calendar this month, consider doing something kind for yourself every day.
