🎄💼 Holiday Hustle, Meet Self-Care 💼🎄

Deadlines are flying, inboxes are full, and everyone’s on “end-of-year mode.” Occupational self-care means taking breaks, setting boundaries, and remembering you’re only one human (not a holiday miracle worker 😉).

Prioritize what matters, ask for help, and log off when you can. Taking care of yourself at work helps you wrap up the year strong—without the burnout. ✨🎁

Holiday Wellness - Social Self-care
The holiday season often brings a full calendar of gatherings, family obligations, and social expectations. While connection can be meaningful, it can also feel overwhelming. Practicing social self-care means being intentional about how, when, and with whom we spend our time—so we can stay grounded and energized through the season.

Social self-care starts with setting healthy boundaries. It’s okay to say no to events that don’t serve your well-being or to leave early when you’ve reached your limit. Protecting your time and energy allows you to show up more fully when it matters most.

It’s also important to honor different social needs. Some people recharge through togetherness, while others need quiet or one-on-one connection. Checking in with yourself—and respecting the needs of others—can reduce stress and strengthen relationships.

Finally, remember that social self-care includes nurturing supportive connections. A meaningful conversation, a quick check-in with a colleague, or a shared laugh can go a long way. Small, authentic moments of connection often matter more than packed schedules.

This holiday season, give yourself permission to prioritize balance. Caring for your social well-being is an important part of overall health—and it helps create a kinder, more compassionate season for everyone.

National Influenza Vaccination Week

🌟 Stay Strong This Winter — Get Your Flu Shot! 💉
Mark your calendars: National Influenza Vaccination Week (N.I.V.W) takes place December 6-12, 2025.

Did you know the flu isn’t “just a bad cold”?
🦠 The flu can spread fast and cause serious illness. It can lead to hospital stays, pneumonia, and sometimes worse.
💪 A yearly flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and those around you—including babies, older adults, and people with health conditions.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Even if you’re healthy, getting vaccinated helps protect your family and friends.
Why it matters:
• The flu virus constantly changes, so last year’s shot won’t protect you this year.
• Flu season runs through the fall and into spring, so getting your shot now still counts.
• The more people who get vaccinated, the fewer people get sick — it protects the whole community.
✅ Your call to action:
• If you haven’t had your flu shot yet this season, this is the time!
• Encourage someone else (a friend, family member, coworker) to get theirs too.
📍 Ask your local pharmacy about flu shots.
