I loved this! ALL OF IT. Are you able to share the logistics of the "Secret Santa" activity. I might like to try to do it in my Positive Psychology class, starting next week.
I updated the post to include instructions at the bottom! Let me know if you have any questions about it, and definitely, if you try it out, let me know how it goes!! :D
I sure can! I will write them up and share later today! (I think I’ll either add to this post or send as a separate post, since others might enjoy too - will let you know when I do :) Thanks so much for your kind words and when you do try this out with class, I’d love for you to let me know how it goes! While I think it’s great for any class, it seems especially perfect for a positive psychology class!
Raising my hand to be on your Zoom "dreamwork" mailing list, whenever that manifests! :-)
Also, I appreciate your insights on the reservations about asking for help. I struggled with that at a dance workshop I did last month. There were people specifically tasked with offering emotional and physical support, and we were encouraged to talk with them at any time during the workshop when we needed a little help. I didn't think I would need that resource or feel like I deserved it ... until I nearly didn't attend the last day session because I was struggling with an emotional rupture, had only 4 hours of sleep, and was probably suffering from heat-related exhaustion. I approached the support person, and she kept an eye on me throughout the day; sharing my vulnerability with someone released what was weighing me down, and I was able to dance with more lightness. I knew someone was helping me care for myself, so I didn't have to do all the tending. Psychologically, just knowing someone "had my back" gave me permission to do the best I could under the circumstances.
Hoping you'll find threads of support and help that can weave a web of alone time where Daphne is cared for and you can continue writing your brilliance!
Aw thank you friend! You’re on the list 😄 and thanks so much for sharing this. It’s such a good reminder of how hard it can be to ask for help and improved our lives and well-being so much when we do. Sending love to you too 🙂❤️🙏🏻
