Week 185: Cool down: Last episode til fall!
Wednesday, 13 May, 2026
In this episode (the last until late August), I talk about how to transition from a big project, the end of the school year, end of a holiday season, just any end of a thing, through a "cool down." By this I mean the opposite of a "warm-up" like you would do before exercising. For my own cool down, my favorite things to do are watch a movie, meditate, write in my journal, read a book, go for a long walk, go on a coffee date with a friend, etc. But for extroverts, this might look like a yoga or exercise class, a meet-up with a group of people, playing sports, or even just going to a movie with friends. I talk about using mini-breaks as well in the middle of a big project, to help you finish. I am getting out my cup with notes to myself of things I'll do every time I finish grading a paper- go for a walk around the block, light a candle, make tea, etc. Action item: find some time, no matter how short, to gear down/cool down/rest after a big project or event or whatever, using any of the above or whatever helps you to feel rested. And have a great summer!
