State of the Month Address: Be Vigilant!

     With the Fall season upon us, this is an excellent time to recover from some of the year’s most stressful times. This season also represents festive times, but those festive times can give way to some unexpected stressful times. What am I saying? You don’t want to enter this season with your guard down. Despite sincere intentions, anyone or anything may try to take advantage of you to ruin your expectations. We have heard and seen many disturbing reports in the news lately, but our take home message should be that we are not to live in fear; we must recover. In observance of National Recovery Month, I would like to encourage you to always stop and focus when you feel overwhelmed. Nothing is so important that you have to sacrifice your health and well being.
     This is also National Literacy Month. Reading and writing is a form of self expression that really shows how confident and secure a person is, and physical literacy works in the same manner. In this issue, I mentioned the definition of physical literacy with its associated characteristics a person will have after understanding its purpose. Physical literacy will increase the potential of any literacy deficit because of the very nature of physical literacy: self-realization with a focus on quality of life. Physical literacy can infiltrate any area of your life and make it better. Physical Literacy: there is more than enough to go around!
     Little did I know that my articles would go well with another theme or observance of this month — National Self Awareness Month. The advancement of technology is good, but this luxury and comfort comes with a cost. Being vigilant means recognizing distractions and having the will to not remove the reliance, or trust, you should have in yourself. In this day and age of dormancy due to our digital disposition, it’s alright to be bold and know who you are!
     Recovery, Literacy, and Self Awareness have one thing in common: making YOU better in a seemingly confusing environment at times. Tell yourself, “It’s O.K.” and know why you are on the earth. Be Vigilant!
