PelotonU student Elaine Humphrey offers advice on balancing all the things. Listen as she shares goal setting strategies, handling feedback from reviewers, and self-care.
Repeat after us: Your self-worth is not connected to your productivity. You are worthy of love and belonging simply because you are you. Sometimes, we all experience feelings of shame that impact our confidence in ourselves, our ability to communicate and interact with others, and our ability to be the leader we were meant to be!
This week's theme is "building confidence." The following activities will have you reflect on the role shame may play in your life and how to work through feelings of shame. Additionally, you will have an opportunity to (further) develop your leadership skills.
Make sure to complete ALL of the activities on the to-do list below: each activity supports another one, and they all support YOU!
We see you! You're working hard! Keep track of the hours you spend on any school task using our Virtual Study Log! Remember, you cannot see what you've already submitted, so log hours each day you work on school or have a meeting with your Coach/AOL, OR keep track of your hours on paper and log everything retroactively on Sundays.
