Question of the Week
Weekly Wellness
November’s habit of the month is “Take Care of Yourself” and the disposition is “Positive Self-Perception”
Physical self-care and well-being are foundational for many other habits. When your body is cared for, you’re better able to deal with emotions. Our bodies and emotions are inextricably intertwined-our physical state creates emotional states; our emotions are affected by our physical state. If our bodies are strong, rested, nourished, and enjoyed, tending to our emotional selves will be exponentially easier. Resilient people have a healthy self-perception, are committed to taking care of themselves, and accept themselves more or less as they are. Self-care is the root of resilience when you’re dragging yourself towards winter break and your emotions are raw.
-Elena Aguilar, Onward
