  • Helpful tips from Mrs. Jarosz:

    • Talk about your feelings! There are no right or wrong feelings. Feelings are either comfortable or uncomfortable, and right now a lot of us may be feeling uncomfortable. That is ok! Talk about it with someone who is a good listener and if you can’t find someone then send me an email.
    • Focus on what you can control. You do have power in every situation and that power and control is what you choose to tell yourself. “I choose to just stay in bed today 😊, I choose to do my work and rest later, I choose to take care of myself today, etc..”
    • We all have an inner voice. Allow your voice to be kind, and stop being so hard on yourself. It’s just not worth it!
    • Spend time observing nature! Watch the clouds change shape, notice squirrels chasing each other. Nature is healing and its free. The simple things in life are often the most valuable.
    • Stay connected with others. Face time, group chat, call family friends and play games over the phone like 20 questions, etc…
    • Check out this website for some mindfulness tricks: https://www.mindful.org/mindfulness-meditation-anxiety/

    If you feel down and out, disconnected, or just uncomfortable I urge you to please reach out and do not isolate yourself. You can send me an email, reach out to your guidance counselors, talk to family, friends and if that doesn’t help then remember these helpful resources.
