If you’re struggling to juggle between school, work, social time, and more, you’re not alone. Many are familiar with that guilty feeling you may have when you are taking a break and aren’t working towards your academics, career, or personal goals. However, It’s OK to Pause! Taking some time for yourself is one of the best ways to reevaluate your current lifestyle, enjoy the smaller moments in your day, and reconnect with yourself. By doing so, you can replenish your energy and put your best effort towards everything you do.
Facilitated by Crystal Schiller, Ph.D, Heels Care Network is hosting Carolina Mental Health Seminar: It’s Ok to Pause on Oct. 11 from 12:00 – 1:30pm on Zoom to better understand how mindful pauses work, how to prioritize them in your busy schedules, and how to inspire others in the community. You can register to attend this seminar on Zoom.
