21 Days To A Healthier Mindset

For most of us, move-in day is just about one month away. Can you believe it? Before then, take some time for you to get back into a clear, calm mindset. And in three weeks, you'll be ready to hit the ground running.

1. Pick out a book that you can read in a month. And actually stick to reading it.

Pick something that will add something interesting to your reading inventory and provoke some thought.

2. Clean out your closet and donate what you won't wear.

You're going to have to cut down anyways to get everything into a dorm wardrobe anyways.

3. Make plans with a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Believe me, it makes you feel so much better.

4. Clean up your social media accounts.

Good rule of thumb: if you wouldn't talk to them in person, then why do you follow them online? Also unfriend and unfollow anyone whose posts just make you angry, jealous, etc. Why keep putting yourself through that?

5. Write in a journal.

Don't think too much, just write what comes to mind.

6. Practice mindfulness.

7. Perform a random act of kindness.

I recently read about one great idea where you leave a sticky note on your tray in the dining hall when you bring it to the dish drop at school just saying thank you. I don't know about you, but I love that.

8. Clear the air.

Maybe combine with #3? Actions tend to speak louder than

9. Write a letter (key word: write, not type).

10. Go an entire day without checking social media.

It's HARD but definitely worth it.

11. Search Spotify for playlists you love, and even make a few of your own.


I recommend Discover Weekly, 2000s Pop, Sing-Along: 90s to Now, and Afternoon Acoustic. I complied songs for my own playlist for commuting back and forth to work...best decision ever.

12. Learn something new related to what you are studying in school.

My go to: TED Talks.

13. Learn something new completely not related to your field.

Also my go to: TED Talks.

14. Find a podcast that interests you.

There's literally a podcast for everything.

15. Get outside.

You don't need to be an athlete, just get some fresh air.

16. Go bare faced for a day if you normally wear make up.

It can be pretty empowering.

17. Draft out a morning and night routines.

And then try to stick to them come the new semester.

18. List things that stress you out or make you anxious.

So you know what triggers you.

19. Then, list ways you can relax and calm your nerves.

So you can start to tackle these obstacles.

20. Show support for someone who really needs it.

Because it's just the right thing to do.

21. Be completely spontaneous for entire day.

Just see where it leads you!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
