Hello beautiful 😍 Does anyone else get really excited to get a new planner?!

My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw this at @aldiusa. It's gorgeous and was only $9!!! I know, I was shocked too. I've spent upwards of $20 in the past and have been left wanting more.

This one is set to start in August and I'm having a hard time waiting 🫣

Here are a few of my favorite things:
🔹She's large and in charge - plenty of room to compile consulting and counseling events and to do's
🔹 Free stickers and ruler - love the color coded stickers and the ruler with stencils is perfect to keep things cohesive
🔹Professional Development Plan and Meeting Notes sections are incredible for keeping me on track without out having to carry extra notebooks or journals
🔹Folder in the back for important papers
🔹Plastic cover to protect from coffee spills, yes I've ruined a planner that way in past

These are just a few of the things that will benefit me. This comes in a few other colors and styles as well.

Keeping myself organized, especially when school starts again, is one way I avoid burnout.

What is your must have in a planner? Share below 👇 and tag someone who absolutely needs this!

It's Self Care Day.. but what does that actually mean?

I speak to so many professionals who tell me "I just don't have time for self care" and my heart breaks every single time 💔

Self care doesn't always have to be a whole body overload sometimes it's the small intentional choices we make that preserve our energy.

What does self care look like for me lately?
🔹Yesterday I took the day off to go to yoga, have lunch and explore the park with my friend
🔹Not rushing through every single activity, slowing down while showering, doing dishes, etc. These activities are not supposed to seem like a panicked rush.
🔹Going phone-less when with family members, making sure I'm present during that quality time
🔹Extended walks with Kona and making them seem like an adventure, trying new places and enjoying all that Upstate has to offer
🔹Being intentional about not over committing and keeping my schedule balanced
🔹Enjoying live music and carefree nights with friends and my love 🥰

What does self care look like for you? Share in the comments and follow @calmerwatersco to stay connected

What's one thing you'll do to enhance your mental well-being today? Let's hear it below ⬇️

NY, like many places, is experiencing a heatwave 🥵 temps will reach 95° with a heat index of 110°.

My one thing today will be hydrating! Yesterday it was just as hot and I found myself battling a headache then feeling annoyed due to being trapped inside on what should have been an adventure day with my pup after work.

To help with this, I made ice cubes with fruit and also blended watermelon and froze them into cubes to add additional benefits to my water.

Dehydration can mimic signs of anxiety, so do what you can to be proactive this week!

We are taking our quick breaks, working on patience and practicing gratitude for the air-conditioning!!

Summer check in ➡️ does your workplace support you speaking up about your needs?

I'm a summer girl, it's my favorite time of the year, and I've had the best memories of my life happen in the summer!

Right now I work full time in a school (in addition to my consulting role). It's a 12 month position but summers look a bit different from Sept - June.

The summer is where I find my balance, I don't over do it, I don't push the productivity until I crack, I prioritize wellness, fun, travel, spending time near water, and with the ones I love.

With that said, sometimes when fall comes around I feel like I'm tripling my productivity which can often lead to feelings of exhaustion or burnout by the holidays.

It's something I've been working on, and have gotten better at over the years. Knowing my own tendencies is crucial, it helps me prepare for the waves so I can effectively ride them.

I'm lucky to have leadership that I feel comfortable communicating my needs with. As for the consulting work, I know when to scale back on bookings and when to load up the calendar.

How do you balance productivity and express your needs?
