July Newsletter: You Have the Power to Grow

Growing is hard. It’s difficult to unlearn the habits, thoughts, and feelings that you’ve learned and taken on throughout your life.

Is there an aspect in your life that you want to improve upon? Maybe it’s getting out and playing more, maybe it’s remembering to set your phone down and be present in the world, or maybe it’s just wanting to learn more about yourself and others. Maybe it’s setting a sleep schedule, trying new foods and mindfully eating, or moving your body in a way that’s fun for you.

When you know that “You Have the Power to Grow,” you can do anything. Accepting different perspectives becomes a little easier, understanding different backgrounds and experiences is easier, and gaining knowledge and understanding becomes easier. July is also Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Awareness Month, and these communities can face unique struggles. By understanding the unique struggles that BIPOC individuals face, we can expand our worldview to better support BIPOC communities. Having the power to grow can mean that you’re ready and willing to change the way that you see the world and how you navigate the world. However you choose to grow, just know that we support you and your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself (that you desire).

It’s Easier to Move if You’re Unplugged

As writer Anne Lamott said, “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” So if you’d like to unplug right now to recharge and reconnect, by all means, do so! Maybe you can take this opportunity to participate in our Move With Courage challenge, which encourages movement of ANY kind, to help all of us improve our physical and mental health.

And after that, when you reconnect, you’ll find that everything is still working, including us … for YOU.

Disconnect to Reconnect – and Grow in the Sun

Disconnecting from technology at times can help us reconnect with the rest of our world. When we step away from our phone or computer, even for a short time, we may find new and different things to do and people to interact with. Doing so can allow us to grow, which is why this topic is part of this month’s theme, “You Have the Power to Grow.”
