Sorry for the late post, but I took part in a nature walk with Lulu and crew. At first it was a little stressful since the Navigation sent me to a different destination and had to drive around to look for our rondevu spot. Once I located I had to play catch up and hiked at a fast pace until finally our paths crossed. It was a fun hike by myself lol but even better on the way back.

Atlas & I hit the Claremont 5 mile Loop Saturday, it was really nice to be outdoors. I'm really enjoyed this portion of the spring in-service!

It was such an enjoyable afternoon to be able to talk and laugh while getting to know each other better in a relaxing setting. The two miles went by quickly...let's do it again!

Went to the driving range with my husband, Mark.  I am a beginner (just about 2 years) and am enjoying learning this frustrating game!  My husband has played since he was 8 and is trying to teach me......it's been fun.  The highlight of today was spending the morning with the amazing teachers and staff....it was the energy I needed and "seeing" everyone made my day.  Hopefully, my golf game will get better!

Both my Neice and Nephew attend the same private elementary and middle school that I went to. Beyond the "wow I used to think this place was so big" realizations, it was enjoyable seeing them participate in a weekend fundraiser and showing them that Big Unc will be there. It's nice to have that moment to step away from the flow of tasks that often fill our lives.

Today I got to spend time with my son and watch him play his 2nd baseball game (never played before) and  I’m proud to say he went 3-3 and even got the game ball. He almost hit a home run he was so close!  Watching him learn and enjoy himself is what I look forward too. 💙

I was able to join my colleagues on a nice and relaxing beach walk. It was a beautiful day and so clear that I was able to see Catalina. I was able to reflect on family and friends and how truly blessed I am. It was also very nice to get to know others in our ROP group. Thanks for a perfect ending to a great day.

Decided to get some fresh air with my little family,  so we walked around my old alma-mater, CSULB. Purchased a couple of shirts to wear for Magnolia H.S.'s College Thursdays. It's 4:43 and we're still here. Thinking of heading out for some ICE- CREAM, because ice cream is always a Wellness Food! I'll get to lesson planning and grading assignments later tonight or tomorrow when I'm relaxed 😊😁.

Noli Cabantug.  My simple relaxation is checking my mini orchard and tasting fruits if they're ready, then share those to my neighbors.  He shares his to my family too!  Beginning next month, Dr. Brutus, assistant principal of Katella High and myself,  will start a weekly after school basketball shoot-around to loosen our pandemic-stricken muscles.  I'm excited to play again!

My afternoon was spent taking a walk with my daughter before helping her get ready for her Winter Formal. I am grateful for her actually wanting to spend time with me! I'll take any quality time with my family. I lost my grandmother Friday morning. I cherish the lessons she has taught me including her love for her family.

Taking a walk with my wife and my NOCROP family on the pier and along the beach, on another beautiful day; life does not get any better than that. Except that I should had brought my dog. Having the opportunity to reflect on how fortunate we are all around, helps us grow professionally into positive and grateful teachers, and role models for our students. Life is Good!

Met up with a great group of NOCROPers over at the Seal Beach Pier/beach for an awesome walk! Walking + ocean = happy place for me! It was really nice getting to know each other better!!

Almost four years ago, I’ve started my fitness journey, and since then, working out has pushed me to focus more on my health. The gym has become a stress reliever I can always rely on. Not only physically but mentally, I have grown to eat and live a healthier lifestyle. 💪🏽

Grabbed my sweetheart and we went for a long bike ride along the Santa Ana River Trail. Mind clearing. Body restoring. Wellness promoting. We've been so busy lately that we haven't had a chance...or made time...to ride together. Man, it felt good!

I just love to watch my boy play ball. He’s been playing since 3 years old and I’m so great full for this job I never have to miss anymore games. Truly his number one fan. I love my babies (4&5 year old) but I like going to the games alone to focus on him.

I look forward to this time during my day. It gives me the opportunity to decompress and release stress. Allows me to move forward with my day and clear my head.

Had to do some yard work but it can wait. I packed up my gear a headed out to Huntington Harbor for some fishing. This is my way of relaxing and recharging my batteries.

The best way for me to disconnect is to spend time with my family. From going to the park or visiting family we like spending time together. We truly enjoy all types of activities. During our hikes we like to explore and we usually go off the trails and see what we can find. Today we stayed on trail and got to see the water reservoir.

That’s my little guy on first base! First pitch up got a base hit!! I love watching my two boys play ball. Tomorrow it’s on to the big guy’s football tournaments! It makes me happy to see them enjoy and succeed at what they love, especially activities that keeps them active and outdoors! It was a beautiful day for a game! Hope you all had a wonderful afternoon!

Since I have some students today, we took our Post-Conference outdoors and discussed how each of us cope with stress during our personal time and some techniques we can use to de-stress at the clinical setting. This gave them a little breather from skills and their assignments. We got to know each other a bit more and allowed me as their instructor to reinforce that they have my support and that they are appreciated. Have a great rest of your weekend everyone!

For my wellness activity I created a 108 bead mala while saying a mantra for every knot made. The mantra’s meaning is “unknotting yourself”, keeping you from having unproductive thoughts and focusing on the intention of creating something beautiful. A nice meditative outlet!

Anytime with my boys is my favorite time. Just knowing they are happy and healthy makes me feel happy. My older son played baseball today and he's a pitcher. My little guy is a busy little ant. Were spending time teaching him how to count to ten. This afternoon is just about family time. We're going to start baking cookies. 😋 I loved this activity. ❤️ It brought us all together. Thank you NOCROP!!!

Spending time with my son, and being present and in the moment with him makes everything in life seem less important for the time being. Being able to step away from the stress of life and teaching him some skills so he can do well in his game bring me tons of joy. I have meet my match with this little firecracker. Unfortunately his team " Team Ninja Turtles" loss their game today.

I find going on a walk is probably the best way for me to try and clear my mind. Just to be by myself for a small amount of time after being pulled in a million different directions during the day really helps

I find serving tennis balls very relaxing because there are about 5 things that have to go right to serve effectively BUT the most important is the mind being stress free.

Post sweaty run! Most relaxing part of my activity was getting out of the house and able to free my mind of whatever worries I have for a bit. Knowing I’m doing something positive for my body too! Exercise has always been my favorite stress reducing activity so from here forward trying to set more time to move my body daily

Because we had to cancel improvement works at our OA-HOSA Zen Garden today, I decided to do a midday brisk walk around Lago Santa Margarita instead.  This place is a few blocks from home and I would often go here when I desperately needed some clarity of mind and pureness of heart … or when I felt I’ve eaten more than I should.

CSTP #6 is something I am still learning to do, 8 years since my first day with NOCROP. I don't think I truly realized that taking care of myself helps maintain my motivation and commitment to the people I serve. I feel refreshed and reset for the week to come. #NorthOCROP #healthyeducators
