- Discover new hobbies. Having activities outside of school and family life can give you something to look forward to
- Limit social media: Spending too much time on social media can have a negative effect on your mental health. Make a commitment this fall to disconnect, take a digital detox, and spend more time with people in real life.
- Set boundaries: Setting healthy boundaries means telling people what we expect from them and what they can expect from us. They also remind us to respect our own limits. Boundaries are like fences for people; healthy boundaries enable us to maintain a sense of comfort and privacy in our relationships. We set boundaries for ourselves to let others know how to interact with us and vice versa, we respect the boundaries set by others.
- Drink more water: Aim for half of your body weight in ounces of water each day
- Spend more time outside: The fall is a great time to spend more time outside. Spending time outside has tremendous health benefits, including boosting your immune system and improving mental health.
- Rest and recharge: Nowadays we are constantly connected. That means we can technically be available all the time. But it is so important to take time away to rest and recharge. Not only will that reduce stress, it will help you come back from a day off refreshed and rejuvenated.
