Staying Healthy: Mind, Body, & Spirit

11/11/2012

 

Students are so focused on academics and of course their weekend festivities which sometimes takes a whole week to recover from. Most students think that “unwinding” and “de-stressing” includes beer pong, drinking all weekend, hangovers at football games, and recreational drugs.

Now, of course students are in college to experiment and to party, but there comes a time where we should “unwind” and “de-stress” in a healthy way. Taking care of our mind, body, and spirit really allows for overall better health.

As midterms have passed and finals approach, take advantage of the snow and cold weather to stay inside. Snuggle up to a good movie while you work on homework with a hot cup of apple cider.

Here are some healthy, productive, and positive unwinding ideas:

Try at least 5 New Yoga Poses

You don’t need to do anything that hurts, or that you don’t feel confident doing. Simply do poses to stretch, improve flexibility, and de-stress. Find more poses here: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-682/Yoga-Poses-for-Beginners-Howto-Tips-Benefits-Images-Videos.html

Drink Tea-Especially Green Tea

Green tea has so many wonderful benefits! Besides the fact that it relaxes you after a long day, studies show that green tea improves metabolism, decreases risks of cancer and heart disease.

Have a Spa Night with your Girls!

Being around friends, with a glass of wine or even pizza and soda, having a spa night will allow you to relax, laugh, and pamper yourself! Have everyone bring their nail polish to share colors, look up different homemade facial masks on Pinterest, & stick in a good movie…maybe even Magic Mike?

What’s your favorite childhood memory: Anytime I spent with my mom.

UM has been in the news a lot lately, is there anything you’d like to say to those who may not attend the university or know what’s really going on? As a student, what would you like to say: The University of Montana is an amazing place and we shouldn’t be judged by the actions of some of our students. It is such a welcoming environment and an amazing place to live.

Are you tired of the political commercials yet: Yes.

One “fun fact” about you that most people don’t know: I have two nieces that are older than me.
