By being positive, we can prevent negative things from ruining our day and our mood. 
- Staying positive is when you try to look at the brighter side of a situation, even if it may be grim. It's alright to be sad, but when something minor happens it's better to brush it off and keep your chin up. 
- Sometimes staying positive is difficult. It's not easy to always be chipper, and that's okay! Whether things just really aren't going your way, or you can't find it in you to walk off something that just happened, it's alright to be a little down. 
- Always try to stay positive, even if it's hard. You can do it! ]]> 2018-10-01 19:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287850216 esilvey80 https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287850802 - By playing games that strengthen creativity, you can also improve your intellectual health.
- This could be anything from playing trivia games to games that involve creativity. 
- We might be busy with obligations or tired, which can come in between playing helpful games. It's okay to miss out on training your brain sometimes, but if you spend too much time without working any skills, they won't sharpen and will stay dull, so stay on the look out!]]> 2018-10-01 19:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287850802 esnyder79 https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287907617 - Having fun helps us let loose stress from either the day or the week prior and is a healthy way to keep your emotional health balanced. 
- Having fun could be doing anything that you enjoy! Whether that be hanging out with friends, playing games, reading, or something else.
- Sometimes our busy schedules can get in the way of our free time, and it can be draining. 
- Time management is an important skill to upkeep in order to make sure you aren't constantly swamped in obligations. ]]> 2018-10-02 00:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287907617 esnyder79 https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287908573 - Through exercise we are able to maintain our physical health as well as cope with stress and keep a healthy mental state! 
- Exercise is important to get at least a few times a week and to do for at least thirty minutes at a time. 
- What you do could be anything! Running, swimming, wrestling - as long as you are active and working hard!
- Some things that can prevent us from exercising can be injuries, illnesses, and other obligations. ]]> 2018-10-02 00:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/287908573 esnyder79 https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/288345298 - By expanding hobbies and interests we are able to keep ourselves intellectually healthy. When our life is monotone it can get boring and lose meaning. By exploring new horizons we prevent our life from being uninteresting. 
- Expanding interests could be anything from reading a new book genre, learning a new instrument, or anything else in and outside that range. 
- If your life is so busy that you cannot find any time to try something new, it's likely a sign that you have too much on your plate. 
- Make sure that you keep some of your time free so you don't end up exhausted!]]> 2018-10-02 19:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/288345298 esnyder79 https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/288346658 - Sleep is important in staying healthy, as it keeps our brain functioning properly as well as lets our body rest. 
- A good sleeping schedule is something that is regular, beginning and ending at roughly the same time each day as well as getting a constant number of hours each night. You should strive to get between 8-10 hours each night in order to stay healthy.
- When we are students or are in active sports seasons, we can end up very busy, whether that means doing homework well into the night or returning from a match late, it can hinder our sleep. Try to fit a schedule around these obligations, if you can! ]]> 2018-10-02 19:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/esnyder79/67ggm9nwx2nx/wish/288346658
