Everyone has an inner voice that reacts to heightened emotions, often fueling negative self-talk, criticism, and poor emotional regulation. This voice, known as the inner "critic," can leave us feeling hopeless or unmotivated. If your "critic" is not managed, it can erode your self-esteem and rob you of feeling good about yourself. Strong self-esteem – the value and worth you put on yourself – is an attribute that enables you to succeed at work and in relationships. In order to have healthy self-esteem, it’s important to confront the "Critic" and change the language of that internal voice. There are many strategies that can help people develop healthy self-esteem.

Building Resilience in Uncertain Times
Watch Here
In the face of events which cause widespread uncertainty, create rapid change, or impact personal and family safety, it is natural to feel that you have little control over what happens. You may or may not be aware, but you do have coping mechanisms that will help you manage these stressful situations. By understanding that you have control over how you think, react, and respond, you can help yourself become more resilient in the midst of challenging and uncertain times.

A "staycation" is a vacation taken close to home, without the need for long-distance travel. It's a great way to relax, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime. Also, staycations can help reduce burnout and give you more time to reconnect with family and friends. Here are 25 staycation ideas from your EAP to help you make the most of your time off.
