Don’t forget your self-care routine!

With classes ending and summer beginning, it can be difficult to stay in a routine and remember to make time for self-care.  Below are some tips to help prioritize taking care of yourself this summer:

  • Just as with classes being moved online, it is important to do things like brush your teeth and get dressed every day.  Doing so helps to keep hold of some kind of normal.
  • Set a goal!  By having a goal in mind, prioritizing self-care can become a bit easier.  Try telling others about your self-care goal to help keep you accountable.
  • Set a reminder on your phone.  This can keep you on track if you have a set time that you start a self-care activity, while also reminding you if you happen to forget about your self-care time.
  • Use sticky notes or a journal.  Writing down what your goals are and why you are doing it can help keep you motivated.
  • Use a chart to document your progress, so you can see yourself achieving a goal.
  • Visualize your results.  What do you see as achieving your self-care goal? Visualize yourself meeting your goal to help energize your efforts!

Make yourself a priority this summer! Even though your summer plans may be different than last year, due to the pandemic, we encourage you to focus on ways to better your physical and mental health. If you feel you may need guidance in doing so, consider seeking professional help. We have many more tips, tricks, and techniques for you to try to focus on sleep, eating, selfcare, exercise, positivity, and more!

Other helpful reminders for you:

  • UW-Stout counselors are offering telehealth services via Microsoft Teams to virtually meet with students at this time.  As always, these sessions are confidential and free of charge to students.
