Wellness Wednesday: Stand Tall

Happy Wellness Wednesday!

Every day we make dozens of little choices that either benefit us by asserting our ideas or diminish us because we hesitate in making our views or desires known.

Sometimes it seems easier to go with the flow to avoid potential conflict. But the truth is that letting people walk all over you can increase feelings of stress and anxiety, and it might eventually lessen your feelings of self-worth and play to your insecurities.

Learning to stand up for yourself will help you take charge of your life, believe in your own power and embolden you to reach for your dreams. The stronger you feel, the stronger you will become.

Learn to stand up for yourself in any situation with these 10 simple yet powerful step:

Self-Care Tip:
Super Hero Pose - Stand up straight. Put your hands on your hips. Puff your chest, just like your favorite super hero. Doing so shows you believe in yourself and shows others you are self-confident. 


Kindness Challenge:
Leave a note on the restroom mirror that says "you look amazing" for others to see!

Virtual Wellness Room

Please visit our Virtual Wellness Room to take a break from your online classes. Do some breathing exercises, stretch, or play a game. It's OK to take a time out in the middle of the day for a "brain break".
