深入挖掘: Practice self-care, self-compassion, & reach out to your support system to help you through challenges
我们的哲学
The 学生健康中心 believes resilience can be learned and strengthened. 弹性 is each individual’s ability to “bounce back” from the difficulties faced in life; defined as “the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, 创伤, 悲剧, threats or significant sources of stress.” Experiencing and overcoming challenging situations in life builds resilience, which can help individuals manage the next difficult thing that comes their way. Practicing self-compassion and leaning on the support from friends, 家庭, faculty and staff are just some of the many ways to build and strengthen resilience to buffer against stressful life experiences. Becoming more resilient leads to better levels of overall mental health, 处理障碍的能力, and having shared narratives around failures and challenges.

停止 & 呼吸:
Spend 10 minutes bringing yourself into the moment to fully enjoy a present positive experience, spend time reminiscing about a past positive experience, think about what you're looking forward to, or appreciate and acknowledge what’s going well in your life. You may also choose to do something that completely captures and engages your attention - something you can lose yourself in, rather than something that lets you tune out. Remember your breath is always your anchor. 参观虚拟静息室!

我们可能会陷入 消极思维陷阱 that magnify our fear, anxieties, insecurities, and self-judgement. Engage in a mindful “noting” practice this week. As soon as you notice emotional discomfort or unease, bring mindful awareness to your experience, and mentally narrate what you are thinking and feeling in the third person - “you’re feeling irritable and impatient right now”. Bring an accepting, non judgemental attitude to this practice - “it’s hard to feel this way”. Noting practices improve our ability to handle difficult experiences by coping more mindfully. 用简短的弹性量表 and choose one way you can enhance your ability to respond effectively to hard times - 通读讲义 on ways you can build your capacity to manage hard times.

照顾好自己, yes this absolutely includes finding time to eat, 睡眠, and exercise and it also requires more than tending to your basic needs, it includes nurturing yourself with love and appreciation. Self-care is power, it is “an act of self-preservation” and buffers against stressful life events. 深入挖掘 and take the radical Self-Care checklist, see what you want to include more of. You might decide to set aside 10 minutes in the morning or before you go to bed at night to write down three things that you are grateful for, and learn why it matters. Keep the journal somewhere accessible and pull it out when you feel your stress levels start to rise. Reading your own words back will help you gain a new perspective of what is important to you and remind you of what you truly appreciate in life.
