FIT February Fact: According to NAMI, balance looks different at different stages of life, but regardless of your age, there are always 168 hours in a week. With 8 hours of sleep, only 112 of those are awake. So, set your priorities; say “no” to anything that will interfere with your priorities; limit activities like being on Netflix, scrolling through social media posts, and spending hours playing Battlefield V; plan your day out and always add “me time;” and take time to reflect to know when you are balanced and when you are losing it. Finding a balance is hard, but you’re worth it!
Students, please remember that no head coverings including hoods, hats, scarfs, or bandannas are allowed in the building.
