INSIDE OKDHS - SELF-CARE: LETTING GO

(MUSIC PLAYS)  

Change is the natural order of things. You can see it today as leaves begin to turn from vibrant green to richer hues. Just as certainly, they will let go and fall. It's not difficult to predict and accept. It happens every year. The drift to the ground is just as beautiful as the blossom. 

Some changes are more complex and harder to handle. Are there changes happening in your life that you can't seem to accept? The ability to adapt to change directly affects quality of life. Looking at what you're resisting gives you an opportunity to take care of yourself. The beauty of letting go can solve the struggle. 

Self-acceptance is the root of self-care. If you choose to respect and love yourself first, then the changes around you don't alter you as deeply. Reliance on externals falls away as surely as the leaves in October. If you would like help dealing with any changes in your life, the Employee Assistance Program is here for you. 

The EAP offers six cost-free, professional visits a year and it's always confidential. Embrace change and let go when you can. And don't forget to take time to take care.
