Happy birthday Jeremy! Celebrating your existence today. I’m so grateful that I get to live life with you!

It may not look it from me serious expression but free writing is one of my favorite moments in my day.
I start each day with a an affirmation and then I just write.
My hopes
My dreams
What I am grateful for
My fears
My frustrations
All the things I’m thinking or feeling.
No judgement, no editing, for as long as I want until I feel finished.
What is a favorite part of your morning routine?
#feelingcrispy #recoverymoment #embracingburnout #burnoutrecovery

When I was in a ballet company, one of my favorite parts of any performance, rehearsal, or class was the reverence. This bow was our graceful way of celebrating the end of that dance session and thanking ourselves and our audience for being a part of the journey.
I was in a workout class a couple of weeks ago, and we finished with reverence. I asked myself, “How have I been showing reverence for myself and others in my daily life?” Honestly, I had lost sight of my gratitude practice, which helped remind me.
Offering ourselves and others, reverence can be a burnout recovery practice. Reverence is having a deep respect for someone or something. Leaning into your burnout recovery is one way to show that deep respect.
Practicing reverence for oneself is essential for maintaining a healthy sense of self-worth, self-compassion, and overall well-being.
How do you practice reverence in your life?

A More Resilient Approach For Mental Health
Stress is not unheard of in academic spaces. Stress can lead to burnout, which impacts your student’s ability to succeed in college.

Dr. Kate Steiner will introduce your students to a self-reflective process used to create a personalized sustainability and wellness plan. This plan is focused on honoring that school and work influence students’ lives and happiness.

This program addresses the challenge of discovering our non-negotiable needs and holding ourselves and others accountable to those expectations. Setting and communicating boundaries and non-negotiables is integral to burnout recovery and building resilience to future burn events. Often our communication methods impact our ability to share what we need and want from other humans.

Seeking Authenticity
Living Beyond the Highlight Reel

But when we think about our own actions are we truly being authentic or are we still stuck on curating the highlight reel? This program addresses 4 key steps to achieving true authenticity; knowing self, setting boundaries, saying no, and forgiveness. Students will walk away with an understanding that they can start creating authentic connections while letting go of the showmanship of living as a highlight reel.
Learning Outcomes

- Learn a model that uses self-reflection to identify their true selves.
