Take one minute:
- Put both feet on the floor.
- Take 3 slow breaths.
- Name 3 things you can see.
- Name 2 things you can hear.
- Ask yourself: “What do I need right now?”
Small moments of grounding can make a big difference.
This Month’s Wellness Focus
The semester can get busy fast. Try:
- Create a realistic weekly routine
- Take a break when you need one
- Make time for something you enjoy
- Connect with someone on campus
- Get enough rest
- Ask for support when you need it
Remember: You don’t have to have everything figured out. Take it one day at a time and give yourself room to adjust.
