Becton Wellness

Congratulations Ms. Calasso!

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed during the holiday season, and it’s an especially great time to practice setting healthy boundaries. Consider what boundaries you are good at setting, and others that you can improve!

We're kicking off #12DaysofWellbeing with the Wellness Wheel! 🤸 By tending to each dimension, you can be more intentional with your time to better optimize your mental wellbeing. Learn more about the dimensions of wellness in this video from @samhsagov: bit.ly/3tpks53

With the sun setting earlier in the winter time, that leaves plenty of time to practice cozy self-care like journaling. Here are some winter journal prompts to get you started!

Coping skills can be simple things that help us reduce stress and anxiety. These skills allow us to take much needed breaks or help process thoughts and emotions. Try one of these cozy coping strategies or one of your own.

Wishing all a restful Thanksgiving weekend!

Today the Wellness Club wrote thank you cards to Becton teachers and staff members. We are so grateful for the support of our excellent faculty and staff🍂 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, Wildcats!

Mindful Monday🪷 Sometimes it’s the small steps that can have a lasting impact. Taking a short social media break or writing down a morning routine are great ways to be intentional with our time and quiet the mind.

Take a moment to practice this grounding technique🍂

Wellness Wednesday🍂 It is always the right time to contribute to our overall wellness. Even the smallest steps to maintain or improve mental and physical health can have a positive impact on the way we think and feel.

Self-Care Saturday🌿 Take a moment and match your breath with the diagram below to practice box breathing (also known as square breathing). This breath technique helps slow down your breath and calm your nervous system.

Welcome to Becton (and the Wellness Club) Mrs. Mitchell!
