Building Habits of Connection into Your Marriage
Will Goodwin, MA |
| While we may often think of habits with regards to lifestyle, another area of life that can greatly benefit from healthy habits is our relationships, and specifically marriage! Especially in this time of change and stress, when many of us have transitioned to working from home, it is more important than ever to find ways to feel connected to one another. Healthy habits offer structure and consistency, and when shared with another person, they can create a bond or a sense of we-ness that becomes reinforced every time we engage in a habit together. |

My Plate is Too Full - How to Manage Stress and Anxiety
Alice D. Hoag, EdD |
| Prior to Covid, I used to hear comments such as: “She burns the candle at both ends;” or “He’s stressed for success;” and, “There’s so much to do with so little time to do it in,” or even, “Sleep?! Who’s got time for sleep?!” These sentiments were often spoken with a hint of pride that the individual had been able to manage inordinate amounts of pressure seemingly flawlessly. Or there was a sense of self-satisfaction in being able to juggle so many different things or accomplish so much, to have checked many items off a long to-do list. Multitasking became almost a badge of honor in some circles. |
