Wellness Wednesday: Time for Playcation!
Happy
Wellness Wednesday from Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the reindeer!
We
hope you find rest and relaxation during the winter break. Few people talk
about having a playcation, but it's a great idea: stay home, but make it fun!
The difference between a staycation and a playcation is that staycations tend
to focus more on resting and relaxing, while playcations are for—you guessed
it—fun!
With
the hard work and stressful routines that characterize many people's
lifestyles, it's important to have some fun (like Billy Crystal did to 'get his
smile back' in the classic movie City Slickers) as a way to recharge your
batteries and be sure you're enjoying life. You can devote several days to
taking a playcation, or just be sure you pepper in some fun on a regular basis.
Self Care Tip:
As
we prepare for 2020, it’s time to set some goals. Makes goals
achievable, while also allowing for normal “emergencies” at work that might
take up your time.
Kindness Challenge:
Find a local
cause to volunteer your time this holiday season. You can find great ideas here.

Wellness Wednesday: Hustle and Help #WellnessWednesday #BeWellRedDevils
Happy Wellness Wednesday!
We’re in the home stretch of the semester. It’s time to hustle and get things done. The end of the year/semester can get overwhelming. Remember, it’s OK to ask for help if you need it. We all need a helping hand at times.
Self-Care Tip: 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 Statement:
I am so pleased to see/hear…
We invite you to encourage students to visit our Wellness Room in the counseling center room in office 141 if they need to de-stress and decompress. Please have students check in with a counselor before using the Wellness Room. Typically, we have students use the Wellness Room for no longer than 15 minutes at a time to report back to class ASAP.
Because YELLOW stands for happiness, positivity, energy, optimism, and joy, we are asking for our campus community to wear YELLOW on Wednesdays to help promote our Wellness Wednesday efforts.
To spread the good news of our wellness efforts, please use the hashtag #BeWellRedDevils in sharing your Wellness Wednesday activities.
