Stressed Spelled Backwards is Desserts
I enjoyed visiting 6th grade this week to talk about stress, and how strategies for stress can help to flip our perspective (stressed spelled backwards is desserts!).
There are many strategies for stress which can be helpful, and this week we focused on the science that shows how acts of kindness lower stress. We also got the opportunity to take a look at some real life examples of acts of kindness, big and small, through some TED Talks.
We discussed Global Citizenship Week, and spent some time thinking about how we can use our ability to use acts of kindness during the trip week to help create a safe and friendly experience. I look forward to catching up with the students in a couple weeks to hear about their acts of kindness.
Have a lovely weekend, and don't forget to try a few acts of kindness, it really will lower your stress levels!
Warm regards,
