Helpful tips for getting through a stressful time. Stress is normal and can be worked through. It may just take a moment to pause between when you’re feeling the stress and then dealing with what to do next...

Today’s the day! Come visit with certified therapy dogs in costume and sip on hot chocolate from 5-7pm in Laurel Pavilion! You can wear a costume too 🎃👻

We often have thoughts that sound like ‘What if this goes wrong.. and then this goes wrong..’ When you catch yourself saying ‘What if’ in your mind, take a moment and think about this: What if it all goes right? You are in charge of your thoughts and have that ability to say ‘No’ to negative thoughts.

What are your goals for October? If you’re struggling to come up with ideas.. take a minute to reflect upon where you want to see yourself by the end of the month. What do you need to do to get there?

Jax wants you to know.. no matter how you’re feeling today.. you are worthy of love!

Are you setting yourself up for success or failure? Take a moment to think about what expectations you are setting for yourself.. and are you practicing self kindness while setting those expectations? Theodore Roosevelt once said ‘Comparison is the thief of joy’!

Consider this: from now on, you plant the seeds of self kindness, self compassion and self love. You have the ability to water the seed with more self love, kindness, and compassion. You have the ability to practice what you want to grow. You can be kind to your mind and to others at the same time.

A special and heartfelt thank you to our student orgs, HAB volunteers, and community members who came out to support Fresh Check Day!
