Counselor Survival Tips
If you were at Orientation this past year, you probably remember when “Santa” gave out the water bottles and socks filled with the following items that hopefully helped you through a sticky situation or two later on in the summer. Of course, these tidbits are good year-round!
Toothpick - Pick out the good qualities in everyone, including yourself.
Rubberband - Be flexible! Things might not always go as you want, but they will work out.
Bandaid - Work towards healing hurt feelings.
Pencil - List your blessing everyday.
Eraser - Everyone makes mistakes and it’s OK!
Gum - Stick with it - you can accomplish more than you think!
Cotton Ball - Share only kind words and feelings
Lifesaver - It’s OK to ask for help!
Penny - You are valuable and special
Tea Bag - Take a break daily, relax and go over your list of blessings.
