Finding Balance

By: Beatrice Lim

The current state of our world has caused a global pause, and people have no choice but to carry out their daily activities at home. While this may be a good thing for some, some struggle to find balance in their everyday schedule, especially those who were suddenly thrust into a work-from-home situation. However, despite all the busyness, health must stay as a priority.

Through a span of almost seven months, Filipinos, especially students, haven’t gone outside due to the quarantine measures. This means spending a lot of time, if not all, at home. It’s easy to lie down and stare blankly at our phones, sleep all day, or stay up late binge watching Netflix shows. Although these activities may be “enjoyable” or “relaxing,” they shouldn’t become a daily habit.

Health is an important aspect in each of our lives. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to do the things that are also of equal importance. Good health allows us to carry out our daily schedules in a productive and optimistic manner. Most people would simply attribute the term “health” to exercising everyday. Yes, they are correct, but being healthy isn’t just based on the physical aspect. True health is so much more than that.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete “physical, mental and social well-being” and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity. A lot of people tend to think that when you are healthy, the chances of getting sick are nonexistent. In actuality, being healthy concerns one’s overall state and not just the visual aspect of being healthy. We should begin to consider the other facets of health such as mental, emotional, spiritual, and social health.

While under quarantine, it’s easy to neglect our health due to constant distractions. But we should keep in mind that finding balance in everything we do is essential. Some suggestions to boost overall health include getting enough sleep, regulating gadget use, eating right, socializing online, journaling your thoughts and feelings, drinking enough water, and many more. These activities are simple enough that being healthy is attainable for everyone. Instead of complaining about the things we can’t control, let’s use this quarantine as an opportunity to focus on what we can do to live a healthier and better life.

MGCNL’s STUDENT GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES OFFICIAL DISCORD SERVER

The Student Government (SG) of MGC New Life (MGCNL) recently launched its official Discord server, “The Lounge,” as a venue for Newlifers to hang out and have fun. It features different communication channels for studying and gaming. The server is open to all high school students from MGCNL and other schools. Students can join the server through the link sent by their batch representatives last August 9.

Some SG events that will be hosted on the Discord server include Monthly Challenges, an event that showcases a variety of games and competitions that students can join every month. Among the activities planned are Game Night #1 in September, Music and Art Competitions in October, Game Night #2 in November, Game Night #3 in January, Photography Challenge in February, and a batch activity in April. The monthly challenges will be open to all high school students, as well as teachers.

The annual Lifeweek event, the most anticipated week of the year, will also take place in the discord server. This year’s Lifeweek, “Lifeweek Reimagined,” is filled with exciting activities planned for both students and teachers.

Another SG event to be held on the server is E-ntrams, an annual event that ignites batch pride as students compete in tournaments representing their batch. The discord will feature channels for each grade level to enable easy communication among their fellow batchmates during the E-ntrams event.
