DeStress Fest Day 5 Recap!

Posted on May 12, 2020May 12, 2020 by Carol Johnk

Missed anything from today’s Destress Fest? This is the last day for our DeStress Fest. We hope it helped make your days a little easier and, well, less stressed! If you’ve missed anything, head to our website and check it out!

Need some humor to start the day? How about a cheesy Dad Joke? Check our DeStress Fest webpage at 9:00 a.m. every weekday for a new joke to groan at!

Today’s joke:
What are the strongest days of the week?
Saturday & Sunday, the rest are weak-days!
(you may groan now!)

We had our final meditation session this morning. A representative from Student Wellness lead us through guided meditation to help you discover new ways to help you relax. Today’s session was led by Haley Hines. She taught a body scan method as a way to “get out of our heads.” This method pinpoint places in the body where you may be feeling stressed and tense. The Student Wellness Center has a Koru mindfullness program which you may access here. They’d love to talk with you!

Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter together? Well, today’s recipe is for a yummy Chocolate PB Cake in a Mug! Easy and tasty! We want to see your results – so post your photos here. The crazier the mug – the better!!!

At 4:00 p.m. each week day we have posted an Inspirational Quote for the day! It’s getting late in the day and you could no doubt use a bit of inspiration!

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence.” Helen Keller

Do you have a quote that you have found to be especially helpful? We have a board where you can share it. It might just be what someone else needs to hear!

Didn’t make Show and Tail last Friday? We have a board where we encourage you to post pictures of that special pet that is driving your crazy or making you smile!

We hope DeStress Fest has helped you have a better week!
We’ve enjoyed sharing it with you!
