Our Mental Health Minute was presented by our Historian Sophie Baker!
When Sophie gets stressed out, she has a couple of meditation techniques she practices:
Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Start part by squeezing your feet for a few seconds and then relax completely, move the pressure to you lower legs, stomach, hands, neck, etc. This is great for relieving pressure!
Box Breathing: Inhale for 5 seconds, Hold for 5, Exhale for 5, Hold for 5, and repeat! Doing this helps to calm you down, focus your breath, and get your head clear.
Meg and Sarah (our NME) want all littles and bigs to sign up for mixers!! Up on APO Online all week long! Preference forms will be posted Friday afternoon.
