The best part of midterms? Paws Your Stress. After you pet the amazing therapy dogs, make sure to do these too ⬇️👇🏼↓ *Smile- Laughter lowers levels of stress hormones
*Unplug- It's impossible to escape stress when it follows you everywhere. Take time each day to unplug and use your Do Not Disturb settings. * Practice self care-- Breathe deeply. Tip: Try out our Meditation Mondays at the HLC. *Pet an animal-- this can increase levels of serotonin and dopamine -- neurotransmitters that have calming properties
*Sleep- Seriously, get those zzs 💛💙 Tag a friend who needs a midweek pick me up 💛💙 #NAU #PawsYourStress #Dog #Midterms #WellnessWednesday #LumberjackLife #MyNAUView
