by the number of classes you took.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCE

Relax – take deep breaths. Be Mindful – be aware and IN the moment. Get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. Spend physically distanced time with friends and family – walk, bike, skate, phone, facetime, hangout, etc. Talk to your parents, friends, counselor – reach out for help. Think positive – positive self-talk really does help and is important to continue to do, especially during these highly unusual times.

Your feelings are important. The COVID19 pandemic makes us all feel

  • ut of control. When you are
  • verwhelmed, stressed, or anxious,

everything becomes out of balance. You are juggling a lot.
