Sometimes we are so focused on the bad things in life that we forget about the good things that still exist.
Practicing gratitude is simple and has major health benefits as it shifts us from a negative headspace to a positive one. Carmen @carmenmargazi, our Health & Wellness Director shares 3 easy ways to practice gratitude. #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #gratitudepractice #mindfulness

1.
Before bed, write down five things you are grateful for. Doing this will help you sleep better.

2.
In the morning, before you open your eyes, think about all the things you are grateful for. The more you come up with, the better.

3.
In the morning, as you move your feet from the bed to the floor, repeat, “thank you” over and over. This short practice is calming and creates a happier mood.

Despite so much chaos and change all over the world, our students remain determined to follow a path to a brighter future. As of May 1, all of members of the DTS 2020 High School Class have committed to colleges for the fall. We are super proud of all their hard work and their commitment to continuing their education.

A lot of us are struggling to stay healthy during quarantine. Here are 3 tips from Carmen @carmenmargazi, our Health & Wellness Director on staying healthy 🥬 #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #workoutfromhome.
1.
Get Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Zinc into your body. Keep your immune system strong by maintaining Vitamin D (from sunshine and/a supplement), Vitamin C (fresh fruits/veggies and a vitamin), and eating foods high in zinc and/or a zinc supplement every day if you can.
2.
Sleep. Getting enough sleep is one of the best ways to strengthen your immune system. Sleep helps your mood, decision-making, and even helps you be more empathetic and feel less lonely. Set a sleep schedule and if you feel like you are extra tired, allow yourself to take extra rest.
3.
Exercise. Exercise is essential to maintaining optimal physical and mental health. Just because we are inside doesn't mean we can't move our bodies. Go outside for a walk or try an exercise routine at home. Do you have a favorite online exercise class? Share it in the comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️
