  Ask a friend to go for a walk/move around campus or anywhere you'd like. Check in with each other as you get the physical and emotional benefits of walking.

  Deep Listening

  First listen to close sounds, like your breath. Then listen for sounds that are slightly further away, like the hum of a fan. Then listen for even further sounds, like cars or airplanes. What do you notice while listening?

  Make it Count

  Sit up straight and take a few deep breaths. Count up to 10 things you are grateful for, extending your fingers for each one.

  Shaking for Calm

  Sit tall in a chair. Lift your arms out to your sides with palms facing up, until they are parallel with your shoulders. Inhale and touch your shoulders with your fingertips. Exhale and bring your arms back out, stretching your palms open.
