February Focus

Wellness is more than just exercise and nutrition.  If you haven't seen The Movement trophy lately take a look...(btw, it has it's very own Instagram account which you should follow=)

Notice the words mental, environmental, physical, spiritual, emotional and social (hidden behind Mr. Patriot).  Those words are actually the 6 dimensions of wellness.  We tend to focus on the physical part when we think about wellness, but in reality... there is so much more.  Health is defined as the "absence of disease".  Wellness is a state of being that encompasses much more than just your health.  Have you had a wellness check-up lately?  A true check-up for all 6 dimensions.  I encourage you to do that.  Stress is part of everyday life for educators.  We work in a high-stress, high expectations, high commitment type of profession.    Be sure to take care of your wellness.  Sometimes we need to adjust our focus.  We get a bit overwhelmed from the job at hand and lose sight of the opportunity we have.  We sometimes lose focus on making an impact and instead focus on the day-to-day duties.  I encourage you to watch the video below and consider how the teen in the video had to adjust his focus.

Find your wellness, find your focus... and of course... KEEP MOVING.
