Wellness Committee:
Ms. Jinks shared some very helpful and encouraging words with me in regards to today's Wellness Wednesday. With her permission, I am sharing with you all what she said.
As you know, I have had my share of problems recently.
I found that taking Baby steps have helped and a goal of 3 things a day very helpful as I had been feeling overwhelmed being on my own now. Also journaling helped as I was going through my husband’s illness.
I managed to “break through brick walls” by enlisting help from people I know who know things and not trying it on my own. Just to have the confidence in some things is a major step at the moment.
The song “Tears of a Clown” comes to mind “when there’s a smile on my face it’s only there trying to fool the public”.
It can be easy for us to get lost in the responsibilities we take on that we forget to slow down, take a breathe, and enjoy the positive things in our lives.
Please know that the counseling team is always here to help and support you, whenever you need us!
Thank you Ms. Jinks!
Congratulations to DR. DESTA: Belles "Teacher of the Week"!!!!!!!
