Self-care (3 minutes)
What does self-care look like for you? Exercise? Planning ahead so you are less stressed? Meditation? Prayer? Time with family and friends? Reading for fun? What does it look like at school? Eating a healthy lunch? Walking with students during a free period of time? Does your school have a walking program?
Self-care (part 2) (3 minutes)
Self Care is how we care for ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. This includes basic needs such as caring for our body, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep. Often times we don’t even think about how those simple, everyday things affect our mental or emotional health.
Let’s look at getting enough sleep and the effect it has on the rest of your life. What happens when you aren’t able (or choose not to) get enough sleep for one night? How might you behave the next day? What happens if you go 2-3 days without enough sleep? How might your behavior change? How do you think you would do on a major test or at an important game?

Gratitude
Science shows that gratitude can improve our mental focus, reduce our stress, and improve our self-esteem and relationships with others. But having an “attitude of gratitude” can be easier said than done.
To do for students and teachers:
Gratitude is easy when someone does something obvious or huge that helps you out immensely. Think back on a time when you were very appreciative of something someone did for you that really helped you. Please share your answers with the class.
