Sorry in advance to all the teachers and students out there
for bringing this up, but it’s that time of the year to be getting ready for
another exciting school year. Don’t wait
for New Year’s to make a resolution, aim to make this school year the start of
the best you that you can be. While
being off in the summer has its obvious advantages (like not being in school),
the structure of a school day can offer an excellent opportunity to take advantage
of:
Structure-Unlike the summer, the school day offers structure
that can be beneficial to changing a desired habit or reaching a new goal. During the summer, there is plenty of freedom
to get up when you please and the next item on the ‘to do’ list typically
follows the dreaded eventually. The
school days offer a structure that is fairly predictable. Time spent in school, outside activities, and
athletics already have times blocked ahead of time-no surprises. Pick any goal
or habit that you wish to change, whether it is health, emotional, spiritual,
etc. Be sure to focus on only one at a time (a morning walk, daily stretching,
or preparing healthy meals are all good starts!). Block time in your day for this, it needs to
be structured into your day just as any other activity that needs to be
completed. Regardless of your goal, establish
a set time to get this done and stick with it, make it a top priority! Developing a routine right before school or
right when you get home is a great starting point if you’re unsure of when it
could fit into the day. Big goals can be
reached by setting aside 10 minutes each day!
