As we move from the last day of September in to the new month of October, it’s important to reflect on the goings on of the last month. The start of the school year is always tremendously busy. Readjusting to the school schedule, new teachers, new classes and the school work that follows can be a challenge. It is important to remember to congratulate yourself for each success you have had. Small, medium, or large– it doesn’t matter. A success is a success no matter what!
With October quickly approaching (in less than 24 hours), I am reminding you that taking care of your health is vital! Of course with changing weather (one day it’s t-shirts and the next day it’s warm layers) of Saskatchewan, we know that keeping our bodies healthy is essential to feeling good. Keeping our minds healthy is also extremely necessary for overall health. When our minds are healthy we are better able to deal with stress, frustrations, school, friends, family, etc. and keeping our minds healthy also allows us to better deal with any physical illnesses that may come our way.
What do I mean by keeping our minds healthy? Simply, it’s doing what we can to keep our minds in the “green zone”. The ready, alert, feeling relatively ‘ok’ state. How do we do this? By dealing with stress as it pops up, by not putting off work or tasks until the last minute, by allowing for down time or reward time, and in so many other ways. If you want to know more.. come stop by!
