A Restful 2021
What if we made this year the year of rest? After 2020, we certainly deserve it. To support you this semester, we are focusing on intentional rest with our new Press Pause campaign. Each month, we will highlight a different way to relax and refresh in meaningful ways: resting, unplugging, sleeping, and finding balance.
Taking time to rest improves all areas of wellness, but unfortunately it’s often overlooked. Expectations of work, school, and life can make resting seem impossible or unimportant. Let’s change that this year by making rest a priority! By taking breaks often, we are not failing, we are recharging our bodies and our minds. We encourage you to rest, relax, and refresh by Pressing Pause.
Follow us all semester as we share tips in our blog, give away restful goodies via Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and hopefully, inspire GVSU to take more breaks.
