Stress-buster of the week
|
Now that we're back on campus, it's easy to feel overwhelmed with the number of things you think you should be a part of but aren't. This fear of missing out (FOMO) is common in the age of Instagram and social media, especially now that we are back to doing more things in person. Learn more about how gratitude can help manage this stressor and check out our Mindfulness Meditation classes to learn more about practicing gratitude!

Difficult things happen all the time, but they say that WHAT happens to us in life isn't as important as HOW we choose to react to it. One way to manage challenging emotions is through mindful coloring. Before you dismiss it as child's play, mindful coloring can help us bring our awareness to the present moment - and it's easy! Just grab some coloring pencils and a piece of paper, and you're good to go! Check out our Art Therapy Open Studio for more opportunities to participate in mindful coloring and art!
