Hello lovely people!👋
What a busy first half of the term we’ve had! We have been very active in nature and with our writing! This week I am on leave so I’m catching up with posting some photos and also some reminders and affirmations that we covered over the last 6 weeks on top of reading your reflections and giving feedback! 😊
⁉️How would you like to encourage yourself to grow personally, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and/or professionally?
🎯Remember to always put intrinsic goals at the centre.
By choosing what matters most, we can inspire change from the inside out.
When we talk about goals and plans, we’re often caught up in the excitement. Ideas that swirl around extrinsic goals such as visibility and prestige, an increase in fortune and the external proof we are moving forward can entice us.
Yet, we often forget to look at the foundations of our core mental health and our being for guidance. Intrinsic goals inspire us to connect and pursue a life that nourishes and nurtures us through good times and bad. They naturally lend themselves to self-care and compassion. All while teaching us to grow in ourselves, our relationships, career and community.
🎲Remember your healthy activities: exercise, sleep, mindfulness, healthy eating and connecting with friends – all of which help us rejuvenate and provides greater resilience for longer periods.
Choose to allow good mental health to define your experience.
🤔Take the time to reflect on situations, people and environments and assess their influence on our overall health and happiness
🏃🏻 Choose exercise and activities that promote a sense of achievement and well-being over gamification and pressure
👯♂️Seek and make time for relationships, friendships and social experiences that fulfill and support us
🎨 Make time for hobbies, sports, activities and events that make us feel good and promote community connectivity
💭Help create a sense of well-being that keeps us in the present instead of ruminations of the past and/or anxiety for the future
🙋Find it easier to reach out for help when and if we need it.
I have not changed the program for this term so we will continue with the same topics as last term and I will check back at the end of the term.
Happy journaling to my fellow nature lovers! 😊
