College students are, generally speaking, stressed out of their minds. You may not have time to unplug or take a day off, but you can still take small, easy steps to care for your mental health. Here, SOAR mentor and Honors student Wolfgang W. shares some breathing exercises-- plus the science behind them!-- as a way to calm your body down in high-stress times.
Additionally, there are many campus resources you may want to explore when you are feeling overwhelmed, including:
The Wellness Center (including massage chairs!)
The Counseling Center (free for students)
Rocky Mountain Herbarium (great place to catch some greenery on campus in the long winter months)
