A clinical psychologist’s job includes meeting patients to help identify mental, behavioral or emotional issues.

Tips to Stay Motivated!
________________________________

Staying motivated can be hard, especially when school is online and the end of the semester is near! Here are some tips to keep you on track:

  *   Make a plan- set a specific time for school and free time so you stay on top of your work.
  *   Break up work- smaller tasks to make it more manageable.
  *   Make things fun-  study in a new place around your house or go outside!
  *   Reward yourself- treat yourself to your favorite treat or a good meal after a test or a long study day so you have something to look forward to.
  *   Visualize yourself succeeding- picture yourself finishing that hard assignment and how accomplished you’ll feel after you’re done!
