I didn't even know that was a thing... until I was an activity director. Funny how that happens right!? In preparation of this, I created a Pirate Trivia - Get it Here: Would Be Perfect for Halloween or YOUR OWN talk like a pirate day celebration! Enjoy! https://www.skool.com/lauras-activity-room-7818/classroom/499220c1?md=5d7848ebbda6437f878687b32e9117d8

Something cool about working in Recreation Therapy, is that you get exposed to new experiences you never though of things you would have done before. During a Recreation Therapist Training, They brought in a Music Therapist that did a SOUND BATH for us. I laid down. I closed my eyes. Then let my self enjoy it. I didn’t even know that there were instruments that made the sounds that they did. Honestly, I even opened as single eye out of curiosity to see what the instruments looked like as she was walking by with some of the instruments. When we got back to the building we work, my co worker who was explaining what we did at the training that day said “I had a good day, I got free therapy today.” I smiled and said, “right, while there I was thinking about how we got paid to relax today. “ Here's what I've been thinking about since… Most of us plan meaningful moments for other people all day long. We set up the room. We gather the supplies. We make sure everyone is comfortable and included. And we almost never stop to ask when the last time was that someone did that for us, or even let us do something like this for ourselves. So Busy Activity Professional to Busy Activity Professional, I encourage you to find time for yourself, and do something to help you relax or reset in a way that is more than just getting enough sleep. I know it’s easier said than done. So I though I would share with you a “caregiver reset menu” to help you get started, and pick something that fits for whatever amount of time you have.

I have been surprised that so many activity professionals have used Publisher. I've heard multiple activity professionals now asking for alternatives since Publisher is disappearing next month. In Honor of this change, I have updated our FREE Canva for Activity Directors Resource! It now has info on how to create a newsletter, calendar & if you need it step by step how to use individual tools and features. Feel free to ask in the community if you need help too! 🤍/ Laura https://www.skool.com/lauras-activity-room-7818/classroom/ba0cb80d?md=cdb8e2ddb58b4cecba54c29cf55242f8
