• WELLNESS includes our physical healthiness and our social-emotional healthiness

     

    How do we foster WELLNESS during a pandemic?

     

    • Create and follow healthy daily routines and schedules (and get enough sleep!!). 
    • Stay engaged in school because your brain is wired to learn!
    • Connect with your family, friends, and teachers. 
    • Ask for help when you need it. (Reach out to your counselor if you are not sure where to start!) 
    • Find something to be grateful for every day, and EXPRESS the GRATITUDE whenever you can! (A quick "Thank you!" can help someone else's WELLNESS too!)
    • Take a deep breath- then another one. This helps your body stay calm and helps your brain re-focus. 
    • Practice mindfulness by staying in the moment. Try not to worry about the past or the future. 
    • Control the things you can control, and give up the ownership of the things you can't.
