- Trying to keep a balance between athletics, school, and friendships can feel overwhelming at times. This week we're highlighting simple things you can do to take care of yourselves as we gear up for the last weeks of the term.

- Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present and engaged in whatever we are doing – athletics, being with others, studying, or simply having a meal. It's a process of being focused on the present moment and letting go of any judgements or distractions. The ability to be mindful is something that we all possess and is a skill that can be developed over time through activities such as meditation, pausing in the course of your day to notice either aspects of yourself (e.g., breathing) or your environment (e.g., sounds, physical sensations, and combining meditation with physical activity (e.g., walking).

- There are great apps that help with mindfulness practice including:

- The practice of mindfulness has been demonstrated to have significant benefits for athletes in mental health and performance. You can read more about it in this article HERE

- The Student Wellness Center has a lot of great resources on Mindfulness and Meditation you can check out HERE

- This week, see if you can take 10 minutes a day to focus on a Mindfulness practice either on your own, using a free app, or through the SWC.
