Make April a month of joy, hope, and new beginnings. This is something that military children everywhere have to deal with on a continuous basis. Jumping from state to state and home to home can feel like an adventure as an adult. However, as a kid or a teenager, it can mean life-altering changes, missed friendship opportunities, and being torn away from something that has finally become familiar. April is the Month of the Military Child – a month to shine on the resilience of the kids of our brave men and women around the world. Are you a military family? Do you have kids that are struggling with change or want to celebrate them this month? Check out these resources here: https://www.militarychild.org/MOMC_Toolkit#:~:text=Join%20us%20in%20recognizing%20our,April%2C%20but%20all%20year%20long.
As a military-friendly school, Post University has quite a few military-affiliated students. Check out all of the ways Post Makes It Personal for our men and women who serve: https://post.edu/military/

Speak with LOVE
If you knew your words would attract more of what they spoke, would you choose to speak differently? The words we speak become the world we live in. Whatever follows “I am” we actively invite into our lives. Speak from a place of love and compassion for yourself and others.
When we speak negatively about others, we are effectively rejecting ourselves, because we are all connected. The ability to speak compassionately about others is a direct reflection of the compassion we have towards ourselves.
The words we speak become the world we live in.

For most of us, there never seems to be enough time in the day, especially when it comes to exercise. Life is unpredictable, with school, work, athletics, kid’s schedules, appointments, social events, sickness, tiredness, or plain lack of motivation stealing time away from us. But, the fact is, if you take a deeper look at your daily schedule, you can find time to exercise. Fitting in just 10 minutes of continual exercise here and there throughout your day gives you several health benefits, including improved mood and energy levels. The key is making exercise convenient. Remember, all physical activities, not just formal exercise programs at the gym, add up to a healthier you. Here’s how:
Exercise During Everyday Activities
- Park your car farther away from your destination and walk the extra steps to work, stores, appointments, errands
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator every chance you get
- Spend time actively playing with your children or grandchildren
- Walk in rather than use the drive-through window
- Carry bags to your car instead of using a shopping cart
- Anytime you’re standing in a line, contract your abs 10 times and then your glutes (“back end” muscles) 10 times
- If you take the bus or the subway, get off at an earlier stop and walk the remaining distance to your destination
