Happy New Year to everyone and I hope that you had a restful, happy holiday. The WRCstaff is gearing up for 2009 and one of our collective goals is to take better care of ourselves personally. It's a pretty common New Year's resolution, but how can we keep the momentum going after the newness of 2009 wears off.
One of the benefits of working at WRC is that self care and improvement is our mission. Our programs and services are designed to offer tools, support, and encouragement to women looking to improve the quality of their life. WRC staff and volunteers continually think about how to promote self care to women and their loved ones. (As service providers, we just need to remember ourselves as well).
Personally, I'm learning that part of self care means clearly stating my needs. Sometimes that means asking for a little validation or pat on the back. In this 3 minute video below, Laura Trice explains the power of sharing these needs and being a good listener as well. I thought her message made for a good New Year's Resolution and wanted to share it with you.
Please feel free to send me an email or leave a comment about this post. We want to get the ideas and conversation flowing, so take a moment to share.
