Wellness Wednesday: Growth

Challenges or hurdles are really the benchmark set to see how often you can exceed it. Your threshold is not what you define but what your success will define. The harder you try to overcome the hurdles the more successful you turn out to be.

We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges.

Self-Care Tip: Challenge your negative thoughts and look for the upside. 

Kindness Challenge: Look for good in others. Make time to tell them their strengths.

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.
