Everyone is different. It is important to make choices that work for you! That may include following one or more of these basic recommendations:
- Go to bed early enough that you can sleep until you feel refreshed. This is typically for 5–10 hours.
- Go outside for at least 10 minutes per day; the closer you can get to natural settings the better.
- Meditate for 10 minutes a day.
- Find joyful movement in whatever capacity you are able every day. If possible, try for 25 minutes and do strength work two or more days per week. This might include walking, stretching, hiking, running, gardening, swimming, yoga, dancing, etc.
- Find at least one local or virtual organization that you value, and engage with it on a regular basis.
- Attend events that are different from your cultural norm.
- Attend at least one meeting per year with the Center for Careers, Life, and Service.
- Eat a colorful plate that is mostly plant-based. Reduce consumption of sweetened beverages. Enjoy foods you find fun or nostalgic.
- Practice mindful eating.
- Create visual, performance, or literary art.
- Search for experiences of awe… even in what seems mundane.
- Meet with a fiduciary financial advisor to prepare a long-term budget.
