Q: How do I Create Healthy Habits in College?
A: Creating and maintaining healthy habits can be challenging, but it's essential for overall well-being. To succeed, you need motivation and discipline, as health is an ongoing process. Consider your health holistically, including mind, body, and spirit. Despite life's busyness, it's crucial to make time for these practices to boost your energy, focus, and well-being.
|
Body: Stay well-hydrated, maintain a balanced diet with a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Prioritize nutrient density and include probiotics in your diet. Ensure you get enough sleep, as everyone's sleep needs vary. Listen to your body to feel rested. Regular, mild exercise is important for physical and mental well-being.
|
|
Mind: Avoid procrastination, break tasks into manageable chunks, and let go of perfectionism. Recognize that perfection is unattainable, and focus on steady progress. Practice self-compassion and consider mindfulness or meditation for mental relaxation. Avoid constant comparisons with others; focus on your own positive steps and growth.
|
|
Spirit: Spiritual well-being doesn't require religion but can include mindfulness and gratitude. Engage in activities like singing in a church if it brings you joy. Practice gratitude and treat yourself and others positively. Your beliefs and choices are personal, and I wish you a successful and fulfilling year ahead.

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) mission is to empower Truman State University community by dismantling disparities which prohibit fair and inclusive access to our resources, services, and programs, simultaneously strengthening the interpersonal relationships with historically unrepresented and systematically minoritized students. CDI believes it is the responsibility of every individual to intentionally contribute attitudes of open-mindedness that helps foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and belonging. Through academically, socially, and culturally responsive programming, CDI will continue to encourage students, administrators, faculty, and staff at Truman State University to engage in meaningful, transformative experiences while celebrating personal uniqueness and communal solidarity.
