  • I came across this acronym a while back and I love it.
    F-First
    A-Attempt
    I-In
    L-Learning
    Here’s what this acronym means to me:
    To FAIL is to not dwell on making a mistake but rather the process of learning from them.
    Explain what this acronym means to you. What is your biggest learning experience?

    • I agree. Each time we fail it teaches us something. It’s part of learning. Without failure there is no success. Sure, we have our moments when we get lucky but that won’t last. Things take time. You have to take the time to practice and study to get good at something. Through all that you will have times when you make mistakes. There’s nothi…Read More

    • This helps a lot. I am so use to failure that part of me just doesn’t care anymore and that I expect it. And anytime something good happens I’m just on edge waiting for that other shoe to drop. Sometimes it’s nice to have these kinds of affirmations and reminders that even though you may fail you have to keep going.

  • Tell us about a time either you helped someone through a tough time or someone helped you through a tough time.

    • This is not really one moment in particular but throughout last year, my sister was struggling with her health. Both physically and mentally. She was struggling with depression and feeling suicidal. If it wasn’t for me being there talking to her every day and convincing her to keep going. I don’t know if she’d still be here. I had to be stron…Read More

    • I’m lucky to have a number of friends who have helped me through horrible times, but a recent one was this summer at camp. I’d had a rough night with a camper and didn’t know how much it would affect me, and the next morning I found myself in my cabin alone during my off time writing in my book to my mum (I filled it with stuff I wanted to tell…Read More

    • I’m lucky to have my family who helps me. I sometimes can’t handle a lot in my life and they’re the first people I rely on.

  • Do any of you like to say positive affirmations every day?

    It’s something I like to do every morning or if I start to think negatively I throw in a positive affirmation.

  • Since we’ve been talking about mental health lately. What’s a tv show that brings you comfort in times of stress?

    • Oh that’s a difficult question because there’s so many. Once Upon A Time and all the Star Wars shows/movies bring me lots of comfort.

    • Oh that’s so hard because there are so many answers to this but an honourable mention is The Fosters, watching that show feels like a big warm hug.

    • Full House for sure… I started watching it while I went through a really rough time that I don’t remember now, but I can put it on whatever mood I’m in and it just brings a little smile to my face now.

    • Love the question. Definitely Power Rangers: Time Force because it helped me at the start of my depression when I was a kid. I suppose another would be Joan of Arcadia. That one helped me in my teens and to this day I still find solace whenever I watch it.

  • Happy Friday! For the last few months, I’ve come to realize that I worry too much about what I really can’t control. Because we have been talking about mental health for the last little while- I wanted to share an activity today.
    Create a worry jar! Write down all your worries on a piece of paper and then rip them into strips (or pre cut). Place…Read More
