On Thursday, September 12, 2024 STEM Class of 2028 Freshmen had the pleasure of experiencing their first MEA Softskills training session: Overcoming Obstacles. The big takeaway from the session is that we all have within us the power to shift our outlook. If we raise our level of happiness through intentional practices, we’re better able to meet challenges and best adversity. Please feel free to check in with students about Achor’s 5 Habits to increase happiness listed below:
- 3 Acts of Gratitude: Every day for 21 days, find 3 new things for which you’re grateful.
- Doubling Up: For 21 days, for two minutes a day, think of one positive experience that’s occurred during the past 24 hours. Bullet point each detail you can remember.
- Regular Exercise
- Meditation
- Conscious or Random Acts of Kindness
The schedule of MEA SoftskillsTraining events for the 2024-2025 school year are listed below. Thank you HSA for your sponsorship of this program.
