Avoid the Winter Doldrums
February can have its challenges with weather inhibiting your time out of doors and with what may feel like an interminable number of weeks left in the school year. Motivation may be low. These make it a perfect time to schedule your own “mini-retreat" with materials already included in your Alveary membership! Here are a few ideas:
- Spend time with Foundations: Relational Methods and Foundations: Relational Ideas, both housed under Resources on our website. There you will find short, practical videos, reflection questions, Mason’s words, and resources on a variety of subjects. Work your way through the topics in order, or jump around to what interests you the most.
- Find more videos and curated Parents’ Review articles here.
- Explore this list of helpful videos from past Office Hours.
- Keep your motivation going with tips and encouragement from Alveary’s Reflective Practice Plan Book week by week.
What rejuvenates you during the winter months? Let us know in the comments of this Fabulous Friday post.
