  1. Try a yoga class. You can try a class on campus if it is offered, find something in your community, or do a free class online.
  2. Try meditation. Meditation can help you focus on the present moment. Try strategies like belly breathing and mindfulness.
  3. Visit with a mentor. This could be an Elder, a teacher, a religious leader, or whomever this means for you.
  4. Remember the good things. Write down three good things that happen each day for a week.
  5. Try breathing exercises. Try four by four breathing: Inhale for four slow counts, hold for four slow counts, and exhale for four slow counts.
  6. Disconnect from tech. Take a technology/social media break for an evening and be present in what is happening around you.
  7. Curate your belongings. Get rid of 10 things you never use so they don’t take up space.
  8. Try Loving Kindness meditation. This meditation style involves mentally sending good wishes to others, and it can help you feel more connected.
