Head out on the highway, put the windows down, & enjoy the beauty of the open road. Use that time to decompress, belt out some awesome jams, or spend time with your thoughts. Road trips are good for our mind, body, & soul. #mindeful #Wellness #Mindset #PositiveEnergy
There is something truly liberating about getting in your car and heading out on the open road. shawlocal.com/illinois-valle…
Springtime is a great metaphor for life. Spring cleaning applies to our spiritual, physical, & mental health too. It is a season of growth & hope. #wellbeing #MentalHealth #PositiveEnergy #healthylifestyle
Refresh, Renew, Rebirth raikesblog.wordpress.com/202…
Moving from the gray of winter to the vibrancy of spring, offers hope for new beginnings, rebirth, & opportunities to “spring clean” whatever is holding us back. #wellbeing #Mindfulness #reflective #renew #spiritual #MentalWellness #physicalhealth
The buds on the trees, the layers of greens, the sprouting of spring flowers – the sense of renewal in nature is a powerful metaphor for the rejuvenation in our lives. shawlocal.com/illinois-valle…

I struggled with this a lot as a school leader. The culture of the building is shaped by what we PROMOTE…but also what we PERMIT. The people who work the hardest get frustrated when behaviors of those that don’t are tolerated. #LeadFromWhereYouAre
Lifestyle habits have consequences for our overall well-being. It is never too late to make changes for a #healthylife. Free healers:
-Spirituality
-Sunlight
-Nature
-Water
-Food
-Limited screen time
-Aware of thoughts
-Listen to inner dialogue

This system seemed frustratingly flawed to me. It’s a system that appears to prioritize medication over prevention, a system that could be improved. shawlocal.com/illinois-valle…
