#WellnessWednesday: Just Breathe #BeWellRedDevils
Happy Wellness Wednesday!
Stop. Breathe in deeply to
give your body the oxygen it needs. Breathe out completely to rid your body and
mind of stress and worry.
It only takes a few seconds
to find calm in the day by breathing with intention.
Self-Care
Tip:
Lay on
the floor on your back with your eyes closed for five minutes (or longer) and
just breathe.
Kindness
Challenge:
Give
sincere compliments to three people today.
Students are encouraged to experience the Wellness
Wednesday Relaxation Lounge in the Counseling Center at lunch. It’s
the perfect spot to de-stress and decompress.
Have a wonderful day
everyone!

#WellnessWednesday: Celebrate Today
The semester is in full swing
now! Remember to take time to take care of yourself so we can be the best we
can be for our students =)
SELF-CARE TIP:
Write a list of things you’re grateful to have in your life and
post it somewhere you can see it often. We have a tendency to focus on the
negative, so remind yourself of the good stuff.
KINDNESS CHALLENGE:
Write positive affirmations
or inspirational quotes on
small pieces of paper, then hide them in random places for strangers to find.
Check
out our Wellness Wednesday Relaxation Lounge for students
to find their “zen” in a calming, relaxing space on campus Wednesdays at lunch.
To spread the good news of our wellness efforts,
please use the hashtag #BeWellRedDevils
in sharing your Wellness Wednesday activities.
