5 SELF CARE TIPS to get you recharged!
- Set a Routine-Create a routine that works for you. Designate clear hours to complete work for school. Set your alarm during the week. The routine will separate work time from personal time.
- Get Dressed-You will feel better if you get out of your PJs. Get up, get dressed, and do your hair.
- Unplug-This may be hard for teenagers, but we all are on electronic overload! Spend time each day away from electronics.
- Practice Gratitude-This pandemic is revealing the precious things in life! Start an Attitude of Gratitude! Each day think of 3 things you are grateful to have in your life.
- Get Outside-The days have been beautiful! Sunshine is good for the soul. When your work is complete get into the great outdoors.
Courage-The Character Focus for April
Permits one to face extreme dangers and difficulties without fear.
Discussion points to help talk about COURAGE in your Family Group:
•What do you think courage means and why is it important?
•Tell me about a time that you did something you were afraid to do. How did you feel after?
•What keeps you from being courageous sometimes?
•Is there anyway that I can help you be more courageous?
•What would you do if you knew you wouldn’t fail?
•Who is the most courageous person you know?
