Happy Wellness Wednesday!
March is National Nutrition Month so this month we'll share some tips on eating habits and routines.
Today, let's talk about sharing your meal time with others. There are many psychological, social and biological benefits of eating meals with other people. Because of the pandemic, physically eating with others may be challenging, but virtual mealtime meet-ups are just as beneficial to your mental health.
Whether it be through sharing experiences with family and friends, winding down with company, bonding with family members or just having someone to talk to, mealtimes provide a great opportunity for us to set aside a specific time of the day or week to give us time to socialize, relax and improve our mental health.

Make a habit of including healthy food choices into your daily diet. Try to include vegetables into every meal.

It's nice to eat your meals with others, even if it's virtually. Plan a video chat and engage in conversation.
We all need someone to talk to, someone who listens, and someone who understands. Your Sweetwater High School Counselors are here for you. We are just an email, video chat, or phone call away.
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".
