Wellness Wednesday: Get Ahead
Happy Wellness Wednesday!
You are almost there. The end of the semester is right around the corner.
It is time to look back at the semester and reflect on what went well and what did not.
Mistakes are inevitable. It’s OK to mess up. Although mistakes may have been made, we learn and grow, and make better choices and decisions for the future.
Self-Care:Clean up your area (bedroom, office, desk). Many people find a clean and neat work area to be cathartic.
Kindness Challenge:Because our campus needs some extra TLC, pick up 5 pieces of trash on your way to class after NB and lunch.
Affective Statements:I am so pleased to see/hear/by……
Come experience the Wellness Wednesday Relaxation Lounge in the Counseling Center at lunch on Wednesdays. It’s the perfect spot to de-stress and decompress. Nurse Wegener also has a relaxation space for students who need.

#WellnessWednesday: Let It Go
Admit it, you sang the email subject line in the spirit of Elsa and Anna…
Let It Gooooooooooo, Let it Gooooooooooo….
As the year comes to an end, it’s time to let things go that are heavy and be grateful for the things that are light.
Self-Care:
Use 15 minutes to write out your thoughts about anything bothering you. Then throw away the paper.
Kindness Challenge:
High five a stranger, or two, today.
Affective Statement:
I am so thankful that/for…
* What are Affective Statements? They are often described as personal expressions of feelings in response to others' positive or negative behaviors. Wellness Wednesday will now include affective statement stems to help connect how our behaviors are “affecting” or impacting self or others.
Please continue to encourage students to experience the Wellness Wednesday Relaxation Lounge in the Counseling Center at lunch on Wednesdays. It’s the perfect spot to de-stress and decompress. Nurse Wegener also has a relaxation space for students who need.
Have a wonderful day!
