What is in a hug? According to science, a lot! Hugs can help us in particularly stressful situations, can help us lower our blood pressure, and make up happy! It is not safe to hug our friends right now, but there are plenty of ways to send a virtual (and safe!) hug to our loved ones on this day!

Introduction to Tracking Our Habits - 5 mins
When starting a new habit, a good way to remind ourselves about completing the habit is to track it.
What were some habit tracking ideas that we've talked about before?
Presenter Note: Feel free to share any sort of habit tracking you might follow yourself.

Tracking Habits in Our Planner Portfolio - 10 mins
Starting next week, we will begin using our planner portfolios for program. These portfolios will be used year round and will be a topic in our annual meetings
Here is the page in the portfolio that will have the habit tracker on it. It will always be on the lower right side of the page. Each day you fill in the circle, or make a check mark to show you did your habit for the day, or an ex or other mark to show you didn't do it that day. Just recording it like that makes our brain want to do a new habit.
Presentor Note: If you need to review the importance of our annual meetings, see Tuesdays outline about lesson plans.
Share how the outline for a habit tracker in the planner will work. Questions to consider asking the group while sharing the outline:
- How would you like to use the habit tracker?
- What are ways that a habit tracker will help keep us accountable through program?
- What sort of materials do we need to mark down the days we completed our habits (pen, sticker, any other ideas?
Tomorrow we will share which habit we decided to track and how we will track it.
