Back to School Wellness Tips

Going back to school can be hectic. It's essential to make sure you're feeling good mentally and physically. The more time and energy you invest in your wellbeing, the more likely you will excel in other areas of your life. Wellness does not have to be complicated.

4.) Lists!!

You'd be amazed how much you can get done without your phone next to you. Download an app that allows you to set a timer for how much screen time you have. Hold yourself accountable. Your phone will still be there when your work is
