Celebration of Life Month has a history that dates back to the 1980s when it was part of a proclamaiton by US President Ronald Reagan as a way to honor human life in all of its stages. Originally attached to Sanctity of Human Life Day, this event has evolved over time. To remove some of the politicizing of the event, it has become an entire month that is all about celebrating life!
Take Time for Rest
Start off by taking a few mental health days, just take the time to sit back and relax, and reassess the past year and what you’re going to be doing moving forward with this year. Enjoy your favorite leisure activity, and do whatever it is that helps you recharge when things are just getting too crazy.
Remember Who You Are
When you’re sitting at work, be sure to do everything you can to remind yourself that you are not your job. By not identifying yourself with your work, you can enjoy the day free from the idea that your success there measures your worth. Work is just another passing of the day, and at the end of the day you need to remember to celebrate the glories of life.
Celebrate with Loved Ones
Family and friends are an important part of celebrating life, so be sure to take the time to get together with them during Celebration of Life month. Whether it’s a simple lunch date, or a full weekend away in the mountains, take some time this month to get back together with those you love and who support you throughout the year.
