Therapist Blog Challenge #8: Pick a Seasonal Topic
Let the season of the year inspire a blog topic for therapist blog challenge #8
It's summertime (at least in the U.S.)! But no matter what time of year, you can use the season as a springboard for a blog post topic.Start by writing down words that you associate with summer (or whatever season you are reading this post). Here's my list: water, sun, relax, BBQ, celebrate, "I'm bored", keeping kids learning, camp, fruit, family gatherings, swim...Come up with a topic based on your brainstorm list or pick on of these suggested summer topics :
- Summertime survival skills for parents
- Relaxation skills
- Curing summer boredom
- Surviving family gatherings
- Summer depression (SAD)
- How to keep your cool when irritated
- Reflections on what freedom means to you
- Body acceptance during swimsuit season
- Free summer date night ideas for couples
- Preparing kids for summer camp
