CLUBS:

This week for Mindful Monday, the H.O.P.E. Club invites you to think about the “Let Them” Philosophy. This philosophy is a mindset tool that encourages people to stop trying to control others and, instead, focus on themselves. There are several benefits to accepting that we can only control our own thoughts and actions:

- We feel more relaxed and settled

- It can lead to better relationships with others

- It can help us identify triggers for unresolved pain from the past

- It can help us build a life that focuses on our own dreams, goals, and happiness

Be sure to turn your attention to the TV monitors for the H.O.P.E. Club’s Mindful Monday highlight for more on the “Let Them” Philosophy.
