🧘‍♂️ Mental Health Monday | Take a Moment, Just for You 💙 Feeling overwhelmed with finals, internships, or just life in general? Meditation can be a powerful tool to help you reset, refocus, and breathe.

Even just a few minutes a day can lead to tangible benefits over time, including:
✨ Reduced stress and anxiety
🧠 Better focus and emotional clarity
💤 Improved sleep
💗 Increased self-awareness and overall well-being

How to get started:
1. Find a quiet space
2. Sit or lie down comfortably
3. Close your eyes and breathe naturally
4. Focus your attention on your breath, and gently return to it when your mind wanders.

Whether you're brand new or looking to reset your practice, this Mayo Clinic guide is a great place to start: 🔗 https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/meditation/about/pac-20385120.

This Mental Health Monday, give yourself permission to pause. You deserve it. 💚
