Mental Health Tip

Mental Health Tips—Motivation

Hey Blue Devils, who is looking forward to summer!? Well, we have a few weeks to go before we are officially there. It’s understandable that it is difficult to stay focused and motivated. Here are some tips to help you end the semester strong!

  • Create SMART Goals. Make sure your goal is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-based.
  • Reward yourself when you meet your goals. Go for a walk, talk with a friend, or have a snack.
  • Get started. Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. Try to do something small and work your way up.
  • Encourage yourself. Try not to get down on yourself if you are struggling. Everyone is here to learn and that’s what you’re doing. You can do it!
  • Meet up with others who can help keep you motivated. Find a study group with your friends to help stay accountable in doing your work.
