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.

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.

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.
