Staying Active

We all know how easy it is to get distracted by social media! I can think of times, myself, where I’ve spent way too much time looking at posts when I could have been being more productive. Staying active and getting schoolwork done early can really help with stress management, especially when it seems to be building up. Looking at your social media sites is OK to do every day, but make sure you set yourself a limit so you have time to do other things and keep yourself healthy! On average, it is said that an hour of physical activity a day decreases stress tremendously, which can then lead to a healthy mind!

With summer here and the weather being warmer, think of some activities you can do outside instead of staring at a computer screen! Some examples are:

• Hiking
• Bike riding
• Playing a Sport
• Going for a walk with your friends after school
• Swimming
• Reading a book outside
• Eating outside

Can you think of anything else you love to do outside? What are some ways you set limits for your social media use? Let us know!
