do Yoga, and listen to calming music.
The key to success is to be open to all possibilities. Keep an open mind, do Yoga, and listen to calming music. You should always stretch to loosen up because if you don't stretch you could really hurt yourself. Everyday is a new beginning.

THE GARDEN KITCHENToday we visited the Garden Kitchen. We looked at plants that were grown from seeds. We saw a lot of tomatoes, basil, and bush beans. We also saw different varieties of mint like Lemon, Chocolate, and Apple Sage. We got a sample to smell and our Instructor made a cup of tea with the leaves that were left over! We also saw Grape vines with tiny grapes growing on them. They have some fruit trees as well like Apple, Orange, Fig, and an ornamental pomegranate. One of the Volunteers took us around the garden and told us about the different plants and then offered us a plant to take home. I chose a tomato plant that my instructor will be growing for me. I’ll let you know if we get any tomatoes! Eating fresh vegetables from your own garden is very healthy!
Keli'i Nutrition and Healthy Food ChoicesThis week we learned about the importance of physical and mental health. We looked at the Garden Kitchen and Nutrition.org websites to learn about healthy food choices and how many servings of the food groups you should eat each day. We learned about some healthier options to fast food and how to make some of our favorite non healthy foods healthier. I like hamburgers and french fries. You can make this healthier by using ground beef and ground turkey mixed and cut up potatoes and bake them in the oven. Try to avoid eating a lot of sugary sweets like cake, pie, and cupcakes. Grab a piece of fruit it's sweet too!
Jasmine It is important to know how to take care of yourself. The ways you can do this are by eating the right food and having good nutrition and by getting enough sleep. We watched a video on cooking healthy food. We also talked about having good hygiene, exercising regularly, and staying hydrated.
Keli'i This paragraph is about self-care in other words how I take care of myself. How I take care of myself if I am depressed I don’t take drugs, smoke, or drink alcohol. I watch TV, go on walks, play video games, reading, listen to music, drawing and go on computer. I exercised to stay healthy and drink a lot of water a day. I also eat right to stay healthy.
When you're feeling stressed or have a bad experience, sometimes you just want to tell yourself "serenity now" and move on. This is not a good way to deal with the situation. After a while it starts to build up until one day you lash out in a violent way that you will likely regret later.
Self-care is like eating healthy, it makes you feel good inside. When you wake-up in the morning and you do exercise, you feel good about yourself.
If you are too emotional, try to control it. Otherwise you might flip out. You might get paranoid That would not be good for you or the people around you. Self care is helping yourself become a better person. Here are some ways to do self care . Deep breathing, walking, baking, cooking, taking a time out and taking a shower. Taking care of yourself is a very healthy thing to do. |
