Take a Break With DeStress Fest!

Posted on May 4, 2020 by Carol Johnk

 

 

Take a Break With DeStress Fest!

It’s the end of the semester and we are all feeling it. STRESS. 

But, have no fear – we are here for you!

We’re here and you are there, so what can we do to help you feel less stress and anxiety? Have a DeStress Fest, of course! 

Starting Wednesday, May 6th through Tuesday, May 12th, we will be hosting a virtual DeStress Fest! We have activities you can do while maintaining physical distancing but still connecting with others online.  The event will feature a LIVE pet show and “tail,” LIVE Guided Meditation Sessions, plus daily dad jokes, mug recipes and inspirational quotes. 

On Friday, the 8th, at 2 PM, we’ll be having a “Show and Tail” zoom session!! Be sure to register HERE ahead of time so that you receive the Zoom link an hour before the session.  Then, come and share your pets and a tell a story (tale/tail) about your pet! Remember – birds, lizards, turtles, bunnies, etc., all have tails, too! So get registered to participate in “Show and Tail!” If your pet is shy and doesn’t want to appear live (or you aren’t able to be join us during the LIVE portion of Show and Tail) there will be a space on our virtual bulletin board where you can share a picture and a brief story about your pet! 

 

Posted EACH DAY on our social media pages (@UIEngLIB) and on our DeStress Fest webpage:

9:00 AM: There will be a new “Dad Joke” posted! Groaning and eye rolling is encouraged!

11:00 AM: Guided Meditation Session! Student Wellness is providing a live meditation at 11 AM each weekday during DeStress Fest!
