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.

MGCNLCA welcomes new parents in Zoom celebration

MGC New Life Christian Academy (MGCNLCA) held its second virtual welcome party for new parents last September 11 via Zoom. Organized by parent-volunteers, the event was meant to introduce newcomers to the school's environment and foster better parent-teacher relationships.

Preschool Supervisor Mrs. Evangeline Co officially welcomed and acknowledged the new parents before leading the praise and worship and opening the event with a prayer. After viewing the school audio-visual presentation (AVP), MGCNLCA principal Mrs. Helen Villanueva gave a speech entitled “A Healthy Home,” which discussed various parenting and marriage tips to support a conducive family environment. Villanueva highlighted the importance of legacy- sharing a quote from Carol Buncher, “They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Attendees engaged in a quick icebreaker, where they entered their respective breakout rooms with their facilitators and culminated the session with a Closing Prayer.

Fifty-two families were in attendance, each receiving a bucket of Chickenjoy as a special welcome treat on the day of the event.
