During these cold winter months, it can be challenging to maintain your mental and physical health. It would be ideal to take a long vacation or a tropical getaway but for most people it is not an option due to cost, work or other life responsibilities. The Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skill of taking a brief vacation involves taking a short break, between 15 minutes to a few hours in which you add in self care that you may not normally do because of your day to day busy schedule. A brief vacation means that you are slowing down your normal pace to observe or explore to feel recharged and to obtain more energy in your life.

With the New Year, there is often stress surrounding resolutions and how to make the New Year better. One simple thing that we can do to ensure that we cross everyone off our lists is super simple: stay connected! Covid and distance certainly makes this harder, but technology gives us the opportunity to check in on our people. There are so many little ways to spread some New Year cheer without spending too much or anything at all.

“Ugh, I have so many final exams to study for. I have to pack for winter break too and still maintain taking care of my health”. This is often one of the many thoughts college students experience as the end of the semester approaches. The words “finals week” and “stress” are almost always used in the same sentence during this tough time of the semester. Although there are many stressors among college students such as finances, living on their own and social life, exams have been found to be the #1 stressor.

Hitting Your Mental Reset Button

If you were to turn on the television and stumble upon a New York Yankees game, you may catch one of today’s biggest stars bending down to grab some dirt in the batter’s box, grinding it between his fingers, and throwing it away. To the average viewer, this quick routine will likely go unnoticed. However, for Aaron Judge this is an important ritual, helping him to clear his mind, forget about his negative thoughts, and focus on what is important to him – hitting the next pitch.

With back-to-school season in gear, it is important to remember to prioritize our mental health. We can do so by creating a plan to implement self-care on a daily (or weekly) basis to keep ourselves healthy and energized throughout the school year. Staying on top of self-care from the get-go can make dealing with stress easier as the school year progresses, and we see students getting more homework, projects, and tests to complete. How can we create a healthy self-care routine? What does self-care look like? Below are just a few easy ways to incorporate self-care into our daily or weekly schedules to help cope with stress as the school year progresses.

Happy Fall!
