  • THE BASICS – EAT RIGHT, SLEEP RIGHT – NEWS FLASH: YOU NEED 8 - 10 HOURS 😐

  • STUDY WHEN YOU STUDY, HAVE FUN WHEN YOU HAVE FUN–YOU’LL DO A MUCH BETTER JOB AT BOTH IF YOU’RE NOT TRYING TO DO THEM AT THE SAME TIME.

  • GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK – EVEN WHEN YOU ARE TOTALLY SWAMPED TAKE 5 - 15 MINUTES TO GET SOME FRESH AIR, LISTEN TO MUSIC, CALL A FRIEND.

  • EXERCISE – TAKE A WALK, PLAY TENNIS, GO FOR A HIKE, JOIN A YOGA CLASS.

  • BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF – DON’T EXPECT MORE OF YOURSELF THAN YOU CAN REALISTICALLY HANDLE. APPRECIATE WHO YOU ARE INSTEAD OF COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS.

  • DISCOVER YOUR PASSION, WHAT YOU LOVE AND EXCEL AT. THIS DOESN’T ALWAYS HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY, SO JUST HAVE FUN DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE.

  • PRACTICE TIME MANAGEMENT – IT WILL HELP NOW BUT ALSO IN COLLEGE AND THE WORKPLACE.

  • THE POWER OF NO – YOU CAN’T DO IT ALL SO YOU MAY HAVE TO SAY NO TO SOME AWESOME THINGS – KEEPING YOUR SANITY IS WORTH IT.

  • FAMILY – SOMETIMES WE PUSH THEM AWAY WHEN WE NEED THEM THE MOST.

  • RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE ONE IN 7.5 BILLION PEOPLE – THERE IS NO ONE EXACTLY LIKE YOU - THERE NEVER WAS AND THERE NEVER WILL BE.YOU ARE A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL LIKE NO OTHER!

  • DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR HANDS THAT YOU ENJOY – DRAWING, PAINTING, WOODWORKING, GARDENING.

  • TALK TO PARENTS, TEACHERS, COUNSELORS IF YOU NEED HELP. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL SCHOOL WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED BOTH PERSONALLY AND ACADEMICALLY.
