Everything Inside of the August Brave Crate!!
Ask me how I’m doing while my spouse is deployed and I’ll almost certainly give you this answer: BUSY! There’s so much to do in this season of separation, and sometimes our energy to get it all done can be limited. That’s why it’s so important to ask ourselves regularly whether we’re making time for the things that truly matter. In other words: are we prioritizing time for activities that set us up for success and bring us joy?
This month the Brave Crate community is making life a little easier (and a lot more enjoyable) by taking a hard look at our calendar and asking an important question: am I BUSY with the right things? While we count down in August we’ll learn that prioritizing healthy Habits and our favorite Hobbies is key to creating a schedule that helps us thrive instead of holding us back.
Whatever your dreams, goals and passions are we know that deployment countdowns can’t stop you! Whether you’re looking to start new routines or pickup old ones I hope that this months Brave Crate inspires you to make each moment during deployment truly count.
