Some other ways to de-stress:

Get out a journal and just journal or draw whatever you think of, even if it’s messy. Journaling can help you “reduce stress” (source). Furthermore, “the creation of art can provide… a distraction from stressful thoughts and experiences…” (source). Going outside and spending time in nature can also help with your well-being (source).

More Resources:

For more resources, check out the sources that are used throughout this webpage– many include more information on wellness practices, in addition to research. You can also take a look at the Greater Good Science Center website from UC Berkeley for more research-based wellness practices (Ms. Lesser’s recommendation!).

Support through Kehillah:

• Confidential counseling support with Sarah Lesser
• Reach out to your advisor
• Talk to any teachers you feel comfortable with
• Get peer support

Ways to Practice Gratitude:

Find things to be grateful for. It can affect your mood and well-being in a really positive way (source). Try to “[c]ount your blessings” or “[k]eep a gratitude journal” (source). Try thanking someone via a note or even just “think[ing] about someone who has done something nice for you” (source).

Breathing Exercises:

Doing some breathing exercises can help you relax yourself— check these simple breathing exercises out (source).

Meditations:

Meditating can be a highly effective way to destress (source). You can check out this one-minute meditation, this one-minute meditation, or this 10-minute meditation for stress. Also, try using the HeadSpace website or downloading the HeadSpace App.
