Week Five
This week we focus on managing our emotions and strengthening our Self-Control skills. These tools can help us to stay calm and use problem-solving steps when we are faced with a challenge, as we had addressed in our past counseling sessions in school, Particularly during this time of distance learning & being quarantined, we face many unique stressors-managing our school work, feeling isolated at times, or struggling with our individual issues or interactions with others. These strategies will help us to identify our feelings, and find a path to make positive choices .problem solve, and maintain positive mental health.

This week focuses on helping us to be patient as we face the unique challenges during this time. We all have responsibilities- for school work and tasks in the home- that have to be managed. We interact within our homes, sharing time and resources with family members. We often have to take into account others' needs and schedules, balancing them with our own.This can be challenging. It is important to find ways to prioritize, and develop skills for patience and waiting to get our needs met without stress. These activities can help you manage some of these tasks.
This also reflects the bigger picture- that we may be frustrated or impatient while "waiting " to return to school or resume our routines. It is important to be patient and accepting of these feelings, and remember you are not alone. Please share your feelings with your families or us at any time. We are all in this together!

In today's current situation, everyone may go through a variety of feeling on a daily basis. Sometimes we may feel worried or frustrated by the overall state of being at home, or other times we feel secure and fortunate for our families and safety. We may experience many emotions in our interactions with our families or chats with others, as well as when we are alone in our thoughts.
It is important to manage these feelings in healthy ways
Mindfulness activities we have suggested, along with this example of a visualization is a useful strategy to help us through this process. The accompanying activity can help us find ways to stay calm and make positive choices to handle any stressors.
Relax & enjoy!!!​
