Good Afternoon Rockets! This is your Thursday update from the Main Office
Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act every day. It plays a big role in overall well-being. When you feel mentally well, you’re able to enjoy life and the people in it, feel better about yourself and can better manage stress.
Here are 3 things you can do for your mental health this week:
1. Make a list of 5 things you’re grateful for.
2. Practice positive affirmations.
3. Stay hydrated!
