Video Link

The holidays are a time for families and friends to gather and make lifelong memories. But, when you are grieving the loss of a loved one, it can be a difficult time as well. The holidays may serve as a reminder of the loss, not only of the person but also of tradition and celebration. Learn about the importance of making decisions that feel right for you and tips for practicing self-compassion during the holiday season during this virtual Zoom session. A Zoom link will be available if you are not able to attend the Zoom meeting on December 2. Presented by Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice.
MyHealics Challenge
December MyHealics Challenge: Gratitude is the Attitude
Value = 1 Point
Gratitude is the ability to show appreciation and be thankful. Research indicates that practicing gratitude contributes to increased happiness, relationships, self-esteem, empathy, and sleep quality. Gratitude may also reduce depression, aches and pains, and aggression. Some choose to share their gratitude with others while others write it down and keep it to themselves. Both methods have been shown to positively impact wellness.
Rules: This 30-day challenge requires 15 check-ins. To successfully complete this challenge, you must keep a gratitude journal and write down something you’re thankful for at least 15 of 30 days during the challenge. Log into your dashboard to check in and share your progress. You must accept the challenge on your MyHealics dashboard and then use the “Log Activity” button to log your activity during the month of the challenge. If you are newly enrolled in insurance this month and do not have access to your dashboard yet, please contact Anna Schmidt at annaschmidt@sasd.net for an alternative tracking method until your account is available.
