Mindfulness & Meditations: Creating Resilience Through the Holidays

The world doesn’t stop when you’re dealing with a chronic disease like sarcoidosis. And this may feel especially true during the holidays. Whether it’s negotiating holiday parties, wondering if you’ll have enough strength to host, or being worried about the impact of COVID-19 on your plans to finally have a “normal” holiday, the challenges faced during this time can create a lot of unwanted stress which takes a big toll on your wellbeing. That’s why FSR Patient Advocate and Navigator, Susan D’Agostino, will share strategies for a mindfulness practice to strengthen resilience in everyday life, and especially during the holidays.
