Wellness in the eyes of a student

As a student, wellness sometimes is overlooked in many ways. Some of us do not make enough time for ourselves and become distracted with the moments or other obligations. Some students have misconception on their own wellness being at an acceptable level. Some make excuses of not having time or money for their wellness. However, in the view of others they are potentially not taking care of themselves; not sleeping enough, partying a lot, eating unhealthy foods, not exercising, and the list continues. Some students make it their goal to make time for themselves, which most students could improve on this one goal. Just think if every student made their goal to make time for themselves in each day, how healthy the student body population could become with a little bit of effort. Wellness can be achieved inexpensively if the individual is aware of their personal choices. Seizing the Day for every moment it offers could help an individual. Start out the day on the right foot and do some light stretches in the morning by reaching as high as you can on one side than the other. Take a few deep breaths and roll your shoulders in both directions. Open your mouth as wide as it gets. Give them a try.
