Between school, clubs, and socializing, it’s important to take time each day for yourself to reset and reflect. Here’s a list of activities you can try this week to take some time for yourself. Complete them in any order you wish, or skip some if you prefer; it’s your choice.
Say good morning to everyone you greet today.
Put your phone away 20 minutes before bed.
Make a card for a senior (This website has all the information). https://www.sendingsunshine.ca/
Take a stroll, aim for at least 15 minutes. Or just get outside for that time.
Tell your best friend how much you love them (or show them).
Watch a movie you loved as a child.
Decide on a positive habit to work on for the next week, or even month.
Grounding tool of the week:
Visualize ten candles sitting in a row. Consider their attributes: are they long, short? Are they scented or organic? Once you’ve created this image, one by one blow out the candles. Focus on breathing slowly as you blow out the candles. Count down from ten as you go.
Repeat if needed.
As well, a huge congratulations to everyone for making it through this exam season. It takes a lot of bravery just to show up and all of us here at the Bears Bulletin are very proud of you! Congratulations and have a week, KSS!
