Subject: 15 for You: Invest in your wellness every morning
Date: Mar 31, 2020

We are all adjusting our lives in the face of unprecedented times. We are juggling new responsibilities, and we are being asked to be flexible as this unknown situation evolves.

Please know that you are not alone. As University of Arizona employees, we face these challenges together. Let's rise together.

Life & Work Connections strongly encourages you to find ways to practice self-care daily. It is essential to our well-being as individuals and as a community – and very easy to overlook.

To help support you, the Life & Work Connections team has designed a series of ongoing, 15-minute Zoom meetups each morning focused on employee wellness.

These short segments are intentionally structured to encourage a daily routine and offer practical tools and skills as we face these difficult times.

Give yourself permission to take a mid-morning break and join us each day at 10:00 a.m. Check out our 15 for You events -- and take a moment to add that Zoom link to your calendars. You can also subscribe to event updates and reminders.
