A few weeks ago, the counselors were visiting Granger Junior High and National City Middle. In our presentation to the students, we started off with a "check-in". We asked students to identify how they were feeling at that specific moment by holding up a number with their fingers. 1 for feeling great to a 5 for feeling out of control. I would like you to do that right now.
From 1-5, how are you feeling right now?
Acknowledge how you are feeling. It's OK to be a 1 or a 3 or a 5.
We have a range of feelings as our day progresses and it is important for us to identify those feelings when we are having them, and ask ourselves what we can do to help ourselves if we are feeling 3, 4, or 5. Close your eyes and take a deep breathe (or two), take a walk, tense up your muscles and release, or go talk to your trusted person.
Make a list of three things you are looking forward to.
KINDNESS CHALLENGE: Assume positive intent in others.
Because YOU play the most important role at our school in keeping our campus safe, don't forget if you see something, say something.
Because YELLOW stands for happiness, positivity, energy, optimism, and joy, we are asking for our campus community to wear YELLOW on Wednesdays to help promote our Wellness Wednesday efforts.

Today, choose joy. Things might not be going your way. You might be a bit stressed out. Someone may have said something to you to bring you down. But you have the choice to choose joy over negativity.
Is joy a choice? Yes. But being happy requires more than just making the choice that “I choose to be happy”. Sustaining happiness in your life takes commitment, courage, a deep understanding of who you are and knowing your purpose in life; and this does not happen overnight. It is a life long journey.
Self-Care Tip: Take time to do something you enjoy.
Kindness Challenge: Make an uplifting playlist and share with loved ones to brighten their day.

For this Wellness Wednesday, we want to remind you that being more brave in your life will help you respond appropriately to risks and accomplish positive things in your life. But it takes work to move beyond your fears. In fact, being brave is about thinking things through, examining the risks and rewards, and acting in spite of the fear that inevitably sets in.
Self-Care Tip: Let go of expectations of others. Focus on what matters for you.
Kindness Challenge: Send a message to a friend. tell them one of the strengths you appreciate you appreciate about them.
