VCU RamStrong Well-being blog

Giving VCU employees the wellness resources they need to be healthy both on and off campus

Start this week with a fresh beginning. This exercise serves a dual purpose: It helps clear your mind of worries, stress and unhappiness. And it creates a clean slate for you to refresh your healthy intentions. To begin, find a quiet place and concentrate on your breathing. Take deep, steady breaths and visualize letting go of all your troubles: the stress, the worries and unhappiness. Let these negative thoughts drift further away with each passing breath, until you feel calm and centered. In these clear-minded moments, set a healthy intention for yourself. For instance, maybe you intend to develop a more positive outlook. Or become more compassionate. Or feel more confident. Set your intention and focus on it throughout the week. Reward yourself for making progress.
