Ten Simple Ways to De-stress
My list is inspired by the stress that’s commonly associated with
- Breathe in through your nose for 4 slow counts, then out through your mouth for 8 slow counts. Repeat 10 times.
- Take a 30-minute coffee break with a friend.
- Go for a walk around the lake.
- Visit Professor Tim Conner’s weekly mindfulness class (every Wednesday at 9:00 am in WML 210).
- Watch a movie or a TV show that always makes you laugh.
- Sit outside, then take a moment to notice and appreciate the sun, the breeze, the flowers, and the trees.
- Walk slowly through the meditation maze (next to the lake between the Frost campus and Walsh Tower).
- Watch the cats behind Weeks Music Library for 10 minutes (or the ducks near the lake).
- Take time to stretch. Reach your hands to the sky. Hold. Bend over and touch the ground. Hold. Twist to one side. Hold. Repeat on the other side. Hold.
- Treat yourself to a favorite meal or dessert.
