Have a Mindful March!

What is Mindfulness? A state of non-judgmental awareness of what's happening in the present moment including the awareness of one's own thoughts, feelings, and senses.

Ways to practice mindfulness:

  1. Use your 5 senses to notice 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you see, and 1 thing you smell.
  2. Take a mindful walk and notice how your body is moving. Use your 5 senses to discover the world around you.
  3. Do some intentional breath work: Breathe slowly and deeply. Breathe in peace and breathe out your stress and anxiety.
  4. Sit quietly in meditation and be still. No watching TV or looking at your phone. Take time to just be.
If you are in crisis or experiencing a mental health emergency:
Contact University Police at 256.782.5050
or Call 911

Counselors are on-call after hours and weekends
and are contacted by campus police when needed.
