The fall season and the holiday season usually bring with them a lot of people time. We see people at fun gatherings, office party time, gatherings with friends and family, special events, travel time, etc.

Whatever you choose to do over the next month, I hope you remember to pace yourself and be present. Be in the moment so that you can take it all in and enjoy it. Don’t let the busyness of the season sidetrack you on your self-care journey. Have fun and stay well.

A reminder for the working parents, you’re invited to connect with other UK employees that are managing parenting and work life. Join our network or attend the monthly workshops

What to do when you have no motivation

Whether you can’t get motivated to clean your house or you just aren’t feeling motivated to lose weight, a lack of motivation can be the biggest obstacle to reaching your goals. When you have no motivation to complete a task (or even start one), consider the possible reasons why you’re struggling. Then, develop a plan to help motivate yourself to get going. Keep in mind that not every strategy works for everyone — or in every situation. Perform some behavioral experiments to see which strategies best help you reach your goals. Read more
