Wellness Wednesday: Be Your Best
Happy Wellness Wednesday Red Devils!
This week, the counselors are visiting our freshman social science classes to talk about high school planning and post-secondary goals. We talked about how to not settle for just being good enough, but to aim to be great. We should aim to be great in everything we do, push ourselves to be a little better everyday, and to not shy away from asking others for help.
Self-Care Tip:
Frustrated? Try a new way to react. See some tip here.
Kindness Challenge:
Bring someone joy. Share something that made you laugh.
We all need someone to talk to, someone who listens, and someone who understands. Your Sweetwater High School Counselors are here for you. Click here to complete the SUHi Wellness Check-In. Your counselor will reach out to you 😀
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.
Virtual Wellness Room
Please visit our Virtual Wellness Room to take a break from your daily routine. Do some breathing exercises, stretch, or play a game. It's OK to take a time out for a "brain break".
