Back to School and Back to Work

Back to School and Back to Work

For those of us with young families, we are probably looking forward to getting the kids back to school. Or not. There is still some stress involved in figuring out school schedules, bus schedules, work schedules, baby sitters, new schools, new jobs, you name it, you may be filling a little overwhelmed right now. Do remember that there are others in your shoes too.

The key is to take advantage of the resources that you have. Don't feel bad about asking for help, that is what families and friends are for. Don't feel bad about asking to come in late to work because you would like to drop your child off at his/her first day at Kindergarten. Don't feel bad about asking for an hour or two to go see the doctor, because this is the only time you have had in the last 3 months to take care of yourself.

For those of you who do not have much on your plate, extend a helping hand to your family members and friends. To the single mother or father in your neighborhood. Even moving their garbage to the street on collection day is worth so much, you have no idea.

Remember, when you stop and take a moment to take care of yourself, the people around you benefit from a calm, mindful, gentle, positive and happy person. People want to be around you. They also want to help you.

As you enjoy your last days of vacation or time off, think of what you can do or how you can help yourself to reduce the stress around you. Sometimes it  may be just to look at it from a positive perspective and omit the negativity.

At The Qi Spot, we are excited to work with you this Fall to start your new routines and help you just relax even if it is just one hour a week. Make your appointments now.
