Value of the week: Optimism
This semester, Kayla is implementing Value of the Week, where we as a chapter will focus on one value outside of LFS that brothers should live by for the week and for always.
We implore you all to try to bring positivity to your weeks this week and spread it beyond just the brothers of APO. School, classes, and life can be difficult but it is important to be optimistic in your outlook!!
Mental Health Minute
Also being implemented this semester is the Mental Health Minute. Various exec board members will take turns discussing practices that they do to better their mental health/keep their mental health in check.
This week, our lovely president Kayla talked about how she likes to use the mediation app HeadSpace.
She also provided information on Health and Wellness's Mindfullness and Mediation sessions:
