Clinical Psychologist, Julie Frumin, offers suggestions that can be done at home – see the list below. • Take a walk outside • Have a casual conversation with a friend • Listen to music while you prep for dinner • Play a game with your kids • Put your screens away, lay down and close your eyes • When we’re overwhelmed, it can seem counterintuitive to stop and put the work away, but with small breaks like these we end up becoming more productive, more creative and more capable of regulating our emotions. • So don’t just keep pushing yourself until you absolutely crash, schedule a few 15–30-minute breaks throughout the day as well as having a larger chunk of time at the end of the day in which you can totally relax. If 15-30 minutes seems ambitious, start small with a few 5 minute breaks in which you do something that brings you joy. **Find the Mid-Eastern Bowl recipe below** -MID-EASTERN BOWL Faro or Quinoa Grilled Summer Veggies Grilled Chicken Breasts Shredded Lettuce Hummus Crumbled Feta Harissa Seasoning Fresh Herbs -GREEK YOGURT SAUCE Nonfat Greek Yogurt Lemon Juice Olive Oil Chopped Garlic Sea Salt
