Get clear for the year with a Winning Wellness Game Plan <\/em>and set up a year that is less stressful.<\/div>

W<\/strong><\/span>ords have power.<\/strong> The thoughts that we think become the words that we speak, and those words become our actions.<\/p>\n

Our words are like toothpaste; once they come out, they can\u2019t be put back in. Whether they are positive or negative, they stick.<\/p>\n

Changing the language from a traditional \u201cNew Year\u2019s Resolution\u201d (meaning there\u2019s a problem and you are not a problem) to setting a Winning Wellness Game plan can make a big difference in achieving your goals this year. Using Book Creator for your Game plan will make your intentions a reality!<\/p>\n\n

Affirmations<\/h2>\n

The first step is focusing on affirmations. Affirmations are positive words and phrases to inspire and motivate you. When you start to doubt yourself, repeating the affirmation gets you back on track.<\/p>\n

The brain is the most powerful organ in the body. Training your brain to repeat affirmations such as, \u201cI am strong\u201d, \u201cI am brave\u201d, \u201cI am smart\u201d or \u201cI am kind\u201d helps you to stay focused.It may be hard to think of an affirmation. Practicing mindful moments can help the mind get clear.<\/p>\n

Lebron James, a basketball legend practices meditation as part of his athletic training routine. He teamed up with the Calm\u2122 App<\/a> and recorded guided meditations called, \u201cTrain Your Mind\u201d and \u201cPre-Game Prep\u201d for their \u201c30 Days for School\u201d program.<\/p>\n

James mentions he listens to Calm\u2122\u2019s \u201cSoundscapes: Rain on Leaves<\/a>\u201d as part of his meditation practice. On Calm Day 12, they provide this meditation for students. Listening to these meditations and self reflecting on them can be helpful in creating a personal affirmation of your own.<\/p>\n

Goal setting<\/h2>\n

What goals do you want to achieve this year? What is holding you back? Why do you show up to school each day? It is so important to know your WHY!<\/p>\n

Having a positive mindset affects our grindset! Attitude is the one thing you have control over each day. When you are aware of your goals this can help shift your attitude so you are ready to tackle any obstacles that come your way.<\/p>\n

Once again, we can take inspiration from Lebron James. He wrote a children\u2019s book called, \u201cI Promise<\/a>\u201d. It\u2019s a wonderful picture book that can motivate any age with goal setting. At the end of the book, Lebron has a page that says, \u201cI Promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using Book Creator, you can record yourself as an audio or video recording of the promise. Hearing yourself read the words can create a positive attitude. You can also read and write your own inspirational poem or short story and record them as you create your Game Plan.<\/p>\n

After you get clear on your goals, write them down. You can also use the audio\/video feature to share your goals. Once you have them written down, you hold yourself accountable. Think of your goals like planting seeds. They take time to grow. They need all of the elements from the sun, rain, and dirt to grow! Nourish to flourish. This is where the next step of self-care comes in!<\/p>\n\n\n

Students can note their goals using one of the many Book Creator page templates you can find by seaching \"Goals\"<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Self care tools<\/h2>\n

When your brain can rest, you can do your best! Taking time to practice self-care is very important for a successful game plan.<\/p>\n

Movement is a great tool for self-care. In the Winning Wellness Game Plan template, students will find short clips of my EdPuzzle videos that promote healthy brain function. Practicing the bear crawls and peaceful pinwheel movements that cross the midline of the brain (bringing the left arm to the right leg and the left arm to the right leg) will help students with their mental focus.<\/p>\n

After watching and practicing the movement videos, students can design their own. They can also use digital color to calm themselves with the virtual art tools. Coloring to Calm is a way to soothe the nervous system and enhance creativity. Teachers are also able to download the PDF for students to color in a tangible way.<\/p>\n

Self care is what brings joy. It can be something simple as listening to your favorite song, taking a walk in nature, playing video games or practicing mindfulness.\u00a0
\nWriting down your self care tool helps to support you when you encounter challenges or get discouraged. Having a plan is helpful for a healthy self awareness and self management skills.<\/p>\n\n
