Now that Election Day has passed, it is time to do some self care. Unplug, check in with someone you care about, practice mindful awareness or just schedule extra time to do something you look forward to.
The Diversity Programs & Initiatives team will be hosting an informal community dial-in check-in on Monday, Nov. 9, at 5:30 p.m. (PST), and we invite you to join us. If you can't make it, we suggest taking time for yourself throughout the week ahead to de-stress and do some self care — focusing on the things you can control and being intentional in your practice.
