Welcome Back! A Self-Care Reminder
Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed your winter break and found time to rest, play, connect, and recharge. Thanks for choosing to be a part of the College of Engineering. We love seeing you back on campus!
As we begin a new year and return to classes, we want to give you a gentle reminder to take care of yourself this semester.
Self-Care can often feel like something for which we do not have the time or energy. Self-care is commonly the first thing we forgo when our schedules get busy. At the start of another busy semester,
we encourage you to make a list of the experiences and activities that brought you joy over break and make a commitment to continue to engage in at least some of them. Creating a list makes it easier to add self-care to our schedules. To perform at our highest level of thinking and to enhance our happiness, we need a balance of work and life. Self-care is productive!
We encourage you to engage in at least one self-care activity each day. If you add self-care to your daily calendar, you are much more likely to engage in it.
If you are struggling with self-care or other mental well-being concerns and would like to talk to someone, come in to see the CoE CARES Hub therapist, Jennie Beutler, during daily walk-in “Let’s
Talk” hours, ARMS 1251, Monday through Friday, 1 – 2 p.m. You can also schedule an initial brief screening appointment with Jennie
here. |
