December
We only have a couple of weeks before the end of the semester. Keep up your hard work and finish strong!
Tip for getting through the rest of this month: Try to create a routine and schedule for the days at home. Here's why: “It’s mundane routines that give us structure to help us pare things down and better navigate the world, which helps us make sense of things and feel that life has meaning.” - Samantha Heintzelman, an assistant professor of psychology at Rutgers University in Newark who studies the connection between routine behavior and happiness. Link to full NYTimes article: Pandemic-Proof Your Habits
"The truth is that you cannot control what happens in life. But you can create a routine that gives your life a predictable rhythm and secure mooring. This frees your brain to develop perspective so you’re better able to take life’s surprises in stride."
Ideas:
- Create a morning routine to prepare for the day (something to eat/drink, getting dressed or showering, making the bed, etc.)
- Once elearning is finished for the day, have a schedule for the afternoon/evening even if it's blocking out an hour for "nothing at all".
- Schedule activities and events: read for fun, go for a walk, FaceTime a friend, wrap presents, etc.
