**Eating Disorder Check-ins** Week of Dec 3 - 9
Can you believe it's now the start of the first full week of December? The year is quickly drawing to a close. With this being the start of holiday season, I think it's important for us to really think about self-care through the holidays. Things can get very hectic and busy between appointments, shopping, gatherings with family/friends (if you have them), meal planning, recovery activities and treatment and other life activities that we do on a daily basis outside of the holidays. It's this time of year that finances may tend to be more difficult as well because of feeling like there is a need to give gifts to those we care about even when we may not be able to afford it.
As we check-in this week, in addition to how you're doing, I'd like to inquire as to how you are going to intentionally take steps to care for you this month as it may get busier and busier closer to the end of the month.
What activities of self-care and stress management work for you (think short amounts of time and longer amounts of time)
What might be something you'd like to try that you've considered but haven't tried so far for self-care or stress management?
I'd love to hear how you are doing and what your thoughts are on self-care during the holidays.
