In this episode Janine and Shannon talk about making the best of an unprecedented Thanksgiving holiday. In listening to the episode, we realized that we didn't directly address some important advice: Think about why the holidays are important to you, and what makes them special, and consider how you can bring some of that into your life, even when you can't celebrate as usual.\n\nTopics we did address include:\n\n\u2022 The importance of keeping everybody safe by limiting social gatherings, even on Thanksgiving\n\u2022 Shannon\u2019s \u201ctraditional\u201d Popeye\u2019s Thanksgiving\n\u2022 How Janine\u2019s decades-long Thanksgiving tradition is impossible this year\n\u2022 Our compassion for people who aren\u2019t able to see their loved ones this year\n\u2022 Creating 2020 holiday memories and stories \n\u2022 Using the extra time you might gain this year to reach out to others\n\u2022 Making yourself feel better by reaching out to someone else\n\u2022 The plan Shannon and Janine hatched to play Yahtzee or Scattergories over the internet on Thanksgiving\n\u2022 Cutting yourself infinite slack if you can\u2019t do the traditional things you do at the holidays\n\u2022 Remembering what we have to be grateful for\n\u2022 Accepting the way things things are to reduce stress\n\u2022 Recognizing that there\u2019s no perfect or ideal way to spend your time during the pandemic\n\u2022 The value of embracing good enough, especially now\n\u2022 The wonderful sense of community created by Yoga with Adriene\n\u2022 Inviting a friend to do things with you (the internet makes that easy!)\n\nSee the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cd2e0d56-1e2f-481a-8571-c4663350c6a6/648i5bBT0OJL-jqDq5kKTfH1.png"}
