The Wellness Initiative Needs Your Help: Positive Affirmations for Law Students Video

The new year is a good time to refocus on our wellness as law students.  This past year has not been easy.  In an effort to help us all believe in ourselves, I am asking for your help on a project.  The Wellness Initiative is making a “Positive Affirmations for Law Students” video.  As law students, we have to support and encourage each other.  This video is one of the many ways we can do so while apart.

You are strong.  You are smart.  You are driven.  You are enthusiastic.  You are capable.

I am asking any and all who wish to share an affirmation with fellow students to do so. Below are the guidelines:

  1. Please submit an affirmation in video form (recorded on a camera, phone, or Zoom).
  2. Your affirmation should start with “I”.
  3. Your affirmation should be positive and/or encouraging.
  4. Your video may be no longer than 30 seconds.
  5. Submit your affirmation to this link:  Positive Affirmations for Law Students
  6. Submit your affirmation no later than Friday, January 29 at 5:00 PM.

If you have any trouble submitting the video in the folder linked above, please email me your video directly at [email protected].

Thank you so much for your help on this project.  It will be great to compile a positive message to share with each other when we need encouragement.  With everything going on, we can find joy and maybe some peace in the little things.
