FINDING TIME FOR WELLNESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m about to get fat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can feel it. I\u2019ve only had a few runs this\nmonth, and I haven’t been to Group Fitness<\/a> since the start of the year! I\ncan feel my body getting used to the low daily step counts, and I’m still\neating the same or more than I did in the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One massive problem\nfor sticking to a Wellness schedule has been the insane scheduling difficulties\nof the first month of school. You might be in the same situation: after week 1\n& 2 you\u2019ve figured out your classes and what times you need to do homework,\nand around week 3-4 you added a few clubs, student orgs or picked up a side\njob<\/a>. However, don\u2019t let your schedule be complete without some sort\nof fitness scheduled in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitness is an important part of your daily\nlifestyle, and if you don\u2019t get some sort of exercise each month, studies show\nthat side effects like depression and lower endorphin rates. Make sure to put\nit into your daily or weekly planners, because it’s not the sort of thing that\nhappens by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Exercise\nisn\u2019t the only part of wellness that I want to focus on. Another part of\nwellness that may not get as much attention is mental health. As a demographic,\ncollege students are one of the hardest hit<\/a> by depression. It\u2019s\nreal. We suffer. However, there are always things you can do to put yourself in\na better place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Whether\nit\u2019s making sure you have a day off scheduled during the week, or it means\ntaking a 15 minute walk each day, mental health is a physical responsibility\nthat you have to care for, like hunger or thirst. One technique I use is\nputting my phone down for a few minutes and just sitting in silence, taking\ntime to think about the day\u2019s ordeals. Another thing I had done is Yoga, but\nnow that my semester schedule is different, I have to find a way to fit that\nin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Remember\nthat Wellness is a journey. Please, do not expect results after the first few\ntimes. In fact, a benefit of scheduling exercise and mental fitness is that you\nforce yourself to stay in a routine. It will be tough to stick too once the\nnovelty wears off, but the results have been worth it for me. I would encourage\nanyone to try to pick up a Wellness routine, no matter the amount of time you\ncommit. Your body will thank you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you reach your Wellness Goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
