  • Exercise
  • Prayer
  • Reading
  • Running
  • Walking my dog
  • Listen to music
  • Yoga
  • Weekly meditation with Renee and Terry
  • Intentional break from work
  • Walking in nature
  • Using visualization to calm myself
  • Shavasana
  • Listening to quiet ocean waves
  • Arts and crafts
  • Unrelenting whimsy
  • Sleeping when tired
  • Touching grass
  • Stop and breathe
  • Playing video games
  • Breathing exercise
  • Gardening
  • Going outside
  • Take a 15–20 minute walk and observe what is around me
  • Diaphragmatic breathing
  • Using breathing to calm myself
  • Color
  • Listen to podcasts
  • When awakening in the night, instead of worrying, think of animals that start with a specific letter
  • Walking on my lunch break
  • Watch a TV show

  • STOP Technique: Stop, Take a Breath, Observe, Proceed

As the spring semester winds down, we hope you make time to practice mindfulness and take care of yourself.
