Counselor's Corner
Greetings Peabody Eagles!!!! You rocked another week of learning👍!
As we continue to soar into another week of virtual learning, let's all remain positive. I often find it helpful to state positive affirmations daily. Positive affirmations are positive statements that can help get rid of self-sabotaging or negative thoughts. When you repeat them often and believe in what you are saying, you may begin to make some positive changes and your outlook on certain situations may even begin to look a little brighter✨. Repeating positive affirmations can also reduce stress. Is this always easy to do? No, but the more you try it, the easier it will become.
Please take note of the following positive affirmations below or even come up with your own! Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Mrs. Turner
