This gorgeous girl is this week’s Pet Spotlight, Skye. She celebrated her 3rd birthday October 13, and she loves to nap! When she’s on her best behavior, she loves to get a pup cup from the dairy bar or go to PetSmart for food, and she enjoys the car ride on the way. With her beautiful grey fur and stunning eyes, she is a very good girl and definite-ly deserves her moment in the spotlight! To have your pet featured, email a picture and some fun facts to mvtv@mvsd.net.

Some things that usually work to help you focus and not get distracted is to get rid of those said distractions, it can be any-thing. Put your phone on silent and ask for people to not bother you politely. Another useful tip is to set everything in a formal matter, and make sure that everything you need is with you or it can help to make you not get up and do something. Make sure your work space is separate from your comfort zone be-cause doing so will have a big impact on how you work and center your attention. I personally always make a to do list, because it is so helpful to organize what you have done and what you have to do, plus it's so rewarding to cross off the list and see that you're making progress for some motivation to keep going. One final tip to sharpen your attention towards what you desire is to break down your work into smaller portions to make the goal acquira-ble for your mindset, and you can keep doing this till the whole thing is done. Those were some pointers on how to focus down on your work. Have a great day!

Healthy living comes first with staying safe and that starts with getting enough sleep daily and enough vitamins and nutrients. The national sleep foundation guidelines say that teens in the age bracket 14-17 should be getting 8-10 hours of sleep. It's hard trying to schedule with doing home-work and if you have a job but a routine will help. Setting in a good routine you can stick to will make things easier in the end. Good diet can help you get the vitamins and nutrients that you need. A good diet can help balance out your hormones which are correlated to everything in your body like your mood and your physical health. Working out daily can also help to balance out your hormone levels. Such as cortisol which is a stress hormone and it curbs the fight or flight function.

Recently, many people have been finding it hard to take care of their mental health due to school and the pandemic. Motivational issues could make it so work isn’t done, and even if our work is done people can still struggle. However, there are ways to combat this.

One thing I find helpful is having a routine to go by daily. This doesn’t mean planning out every sin-gle detail, but having some sort of idea for when you plan to do certain activities. These routines don’t have to be set in stone, either; you can always make adjustments to what works best for you. Everyone’s routines can be different. For example, when we are doing our remote learning, some people may like to have the mornings to themselves and take it slow, while others like to get all of their work for the day done. Whatever works best for you is something you can include in your rou-tine, and having an idea of what you’re going to do makes things just a bit easier.

Our days don’t have to always revolve around our schoolwork, either. Take some time for yourself if you can and go on a walk outside, or spend time with friends (responsibly). If you can, make sure to do things that you enjoy doing, even if it’s as simple as taking a break to watch your favorite show.

The best thing we can do for ourselves during this time is to find balance in what we do. By finding the balance between things we need to do and things we want to do, it makes getting through the days a little better. Remember to take care of yourself emotionally, just as much as physically.
