Listed below are exercises that, when practiced frequently, can build genuine and lasting happiness. 

1. Gratitudes
Write down 3 things for which you are grateful every day.

2. Acts of Kindness
Make a conscious effort to do something nice for no reason other than to help.

3. Exercise
The positive effects of exercise are astounding. Physically active people have increased energy, superior immune systems, and frequent sense of accomplishment.

4. Meditation/ Quiet Time
Those who take a moment to themselves regularly may even permanently restructure their brains to create sustained happiness.

5. Positive Journaling
Take some time to write about positive events in your life like a fun day with friends, family, or a movie you enjoyed.

6. Fostering Relationships
Strong social connections are thought to be one of the most powerful influences on our mood.

Image result for beta clubWhat is the BETA CLUB?
The National Junior Beta Club is an honors organization that recognizes outstanding academic achievement, promotes strong moral character and social responsibility, encourages service to others, fosters leadership skills, and provides settings for you to develop strong interpersonal skills.
 
Who qualifies for membership in the WMMS JUNIOR BETA CLUB?
Seventh and eighth grade students with a grade point average of 3.5 (a general rule of thumb is that it is approximately half A’s and half B’s in one and two semester courses), who also exemplify strong character, and have maintained role model behavior throughout the last school year (no administrative referrals or periods in in-school or out-of-school suspension) are eligible to apply for membership in the West Millbrook Junior Beta Club.  Please see Mrs. Walters if you do not clearly have more A’s than B’s in your final course grade, and she will calculate your GPA for you.

If your child is interested in BETA Club, please see Mrs. Walters in the Media Center. I can also assist students in getting the information they need. Application deadline is Tuesday, September 18th.
