Holiday Compassionate Care Plan
As we approach the holiday season it’s important to take a stock of your needs to ensure you’re setting yourself up for success and an enjoyable time during what can be a very stressful time.
Things to consider:
1. How can you take a break from the social time if/when needing?
2. What mindset are you going into the events with? Can you give yourself time prior to mediate, move your body, journal, etc.? This can help shift your expectations going in.
3. What boundaries do you need to set ahead of time? What expectations have you set with yourself or others?
4. What events do you need to say No too?
5. Are there added concerns that substances will contribute to this event? Do I need to reduce my use to help protect my needs? *Something to consider—- if you “need” to be intoxicated to be present, is this a safe event for you?
