Changes in routine, increased stress, and feelings of isolation can make transitions and time away from your usual schedule challenging. Whether you’re adjusting to a new routine, balancing competing priorities, or missing your campus community, remember that small steps can make a difference.
Remember, you don’t have to navigate every change alone. Give yourself grace, take things one step at a time, and remember that your mental health matters. #thinkanddo #ncstatedasa #mentalhealth

Nature is one of our greatest resources, so let’s learn how to use it! 🌞
Spending as little time as 1-5 minutes in a green space has been shown to effectively support stress reduction, while those who spent at least two hours reported significantly greater health and well-being.
How you can spend time in nature:
🌻 Campus Nature Rx student club @ncstatecnrx
🌻 EcoWellness
🌻 Use virtual walking tours
🌻 Listen to nature sounds like ocean waves or bird sounds
🌻 Utilize campus and community green spaces:
~ Court of Carolinas
~ Pullen Park
~ Lake Raleigh
~ JC Raulston Arboretum
~ Rocky Branch Creek trail
~ Gardens at Gregg Museum
~ And SO many more!
What’s your favorite green space on campus?

There are many ways to manage and work to prevent stress! Consider these tips and strategies:
High levels of stress can make it difficult to concentrate, remember information, and problem-solve.
😴 Prioritize Sleep
Sleep helps your brain process and consolidate what you’ve learned.
Good sleep can support memory, problem solving, and emotional well-being.
🚴 Make Time to Move
Physical activity can help reduce stress, improve mood, boost confidence, and support better sleep.
⏰ Plan Your Time & Take Breaks
Give your brain a chance to reset by taking short breaks to walk, stretch, or step away from your work.
Short breaks can help your brain process and retain what you’ve learned!
♥️ Remember that Your Well-being Matters!
You don’t have to sacrifice taking care of yourself to be a successful student. Find a balance that works for you and give yourself grace during a busy season. #thinkanddo #ncstatestudentlife #mentalhealth
