It's time to start splitting Play-Doh! As the school year quickly approaches, the LEO team is hard at work prepping supplies for classroom sessions. Who remembers what activity we use this Play-Doh for?
Did you know that procrastination is a form of flight and freezing can look like daydreaming? Take a look at the image below for more examples of how these survival instincts show up!
Our lower brain keeps us stuck in one perspective. The higher brain helps us see our experiences differently and step outside the lens of our past. What we see and how we interpret it depends on the context that we're given. When our context changes, so does our perspective.
Back to school season activating your lower brain? Use your LEO tool STOP! When you notice your lower brain activating, take a pause and a deep breath. Take a moment to reflect on what's going on both inside of you and around you before making a plan to help you move forward.
Help shape health in Wood County. Take the 10-minute Community Health Survey and enter for a chance to win a $50 VISA gift cards. Your feedback helps guide community health priorities. This survey is for people who live and/or work in Wood County, WI. All answers are anonymous.
We have completed our 2025 LEO Year in Review! Can you believe we served 1397 youth?! A big thank you to all of our school partners!
Today, our students at Lincoln High School created gratitude boxes to help strengthen their higher brains! These boxes are a great reminder to slow down and practice seeing the positive things in our lives. LEO alumni - do you know where you're gratitude boxes are?!
Your mental health matters. Don't be afraid to unplug.
Make today count and be the best version of YOU. Have a beautiful day, LEO friends!
Winter is the perfect time for hot cocoa. And it's the perfect time to practice some mindfulness and breathing to activate our higher brain. Next time you feel overwhelmed and your lower brain is active, try out some hot cocoa breathing! And then go get a real cup of cocoa! YUM!
The brain often focuses on things outside your control (like uncertainty) because it's a survival instinct to find threats, leading to worry, stress, and rumination (getting stuck in thought loops). Focusing on what we CAN control rewires our brain for more higher brain activity!
Here's your Monday reminder: You are worthy. Self-worth is the internal, unconditional belief in your own value as a human being, independent of achievements, successes, or external validation, meaning you are worthy of love and respect just by existing.
Today is National Use Your Gift Card Day! Have you heard of retail therapy (shopping) making you happier? Well, it actually does. An occasional shopping spree can distract you from stressors and pump your brain full of dopamine! So, let's go shopping with those gift cards!
January is Mental Wellness Month, a time to focus on brain health after the holidays by setting realistic goals and building sustainable habits for the year ahead, emphasizing that strong mental health benefits overall brain function and physical health. #BrainHealth #LEO
This week was #WearBlueDay in support of National Human Trafficking Prevention Month in January. Awareness saves lives. Even small gestures like wearing blue helps spread the awareness needed to fight against human trafficking!
CW Solutions and LEO offices will be closed on December 24th and 25th in observation of the holiday. We will be back in office on December 26th! Have a safe and joyous holiday!
Ever wondered why your lower brain activates? We have a tool for that! Our O.U.C.H. tool helps us understand the why behind our lower brain activation. It stands for: 😡 Offended 🤨 Uncertain 😒 Conflict in Connection 😵💫 Had Enough
Going outside and getting some sun and fresh air is a great way to activate your higher brain and release healthy dopamine. If the cold isn't your thing, try cozying up and engaging with your favorite hobby! Have a great snow day everyone!
Noticing your lower brain getting more and more active during this stressful season? Use your STOP tool! 🛑 Stop 😮💨 Take a breath 🔍 Observe 👍 Plan and proceed STOP can help to calm down the lower brain and activate the higher brain, so we can make better choices for ourselves!
Happy Halloween from the LEO Program! Remember to use your higher brain to help you stay safe and make good decisions tonight!
