Student Support & Resources

· Keep a regular routine

· Wake up at your regular time and rest when you normally rest

· Eat regular meals

· It's easy to forgo preparing 3 healthy meals a day when our routine gets thrown off.

· Don’t forget to eat some veggies and fruits! Nutrition can have a major impact on our mood and overall physical well-being

· Take movement breaks during the day

· It easy to lose track of how long you’ve been answering emails or working on a project when you are out of your routine

· Reach out and connect

· The important act of social distancing can lead to feelings of isolation. Try to reach out and connect with others within the guidelines of social distancing

· Make a phone call to a loved one (yes! I mean call not text!)

· Have a Facetime session with a friend or family member

· Get together for a Skype lunch with your buddies

· Go outside, but follow social distancing guidelines

· Go for a walk or jog

· Stand in the sun for a minute or two if you can find it
