Move Your Body
Exercise directly affects the brain and is a great way to relieve stress, get endorphins pumping, and improve your mental and physical health.
Some people have a regular fitness routine. For others, walking back and forth to class (uphill both ways) is enough of a workout! Finding even small ways to incorporate physical activity into your day helps you keep your energy up and your stress in check.
This can take the form of a PE class, riding a bike around campus, a spontaneous dance party, going to the gym, kayaking on Cayuga Lake, or trying the rock-climbing wall in Bartels Hall. Find something you enjoy doing and you’ll look forward to this part of your day.
Fuel Your Body
We all know trying to focus during class when you’re hangry (irritable or angry because you’re hungry) can be a recipe for disaster. Fuel your body with food that makes you feel good physically and emotionally.
Are there particular foods you enjoy eating this time of year? Are you enjoying crisp fall apples? Looking forward to bringing pumpkin spice back into your life? Getting enough food and the right proportions of nutrients is essential for physical energy & clear thinking.
Staying hydrated is also important! So keep those water bottles filled even as summer temps give way to a cooler fall climate.

Nature Up!
Activity suggestion from Cornell Outing Club:
Outdoor yoga! Find a quiet place in the arboretum, your lawn, or Stewart Park and go through a freestyle yoga series or follow along with a video! This is a great way to take in nature and relax.
Did you know that Cornell has an Arboretum? Check out this beautiful video soaring over the 100 acres of the F.R. Newman Arboretum at Cornell Botanic Gardens. Make your way over to them to see the beautiful pond, find the sculptures, and enjoy the trees.
