Self-care: Imagining our future world

August 10, 2020

Dear COE faculty and staff,

Do you believe that our world will eventually return to a new place, maybe a better place from what we have known now and in the past? Will we be wiser, braver, more evolved? Will this be a place of safety, peace, equity, access, inclusion, and social justice? The Greater Good in Action Science Center at UC Berkeley has a regular publication, which includes imagining our best possible selves in the future. https://ggia.berkeley.edu/practice/best_possible_self One of their many resources is a list of activities to imagine finding purpose under stress. https://ggia.berkeley.edu/#filters=purpose,resilience_to_stress

Imagine, if you will, despite the challenges we now face, what your vision of the future is and what part you will play. Then start to make it happen now.

Please continue to look at our self-care website for additional resources at

Keep imagining!

Warmly,

Shari and Josh
