认识到学生健康的所有8个方面是很重要的, 教师, 还有员工,因为每个维度都会以不同的方式影响一个人的整体健康.

  • “我实践 emotional wellness 通过自我意识到我的感受以及是什么让我有这种感觉. 例如, when I feel anxious, 这通常是因为我的课程负担和重要的截止日期迫在眉睫的压力. When I find myself feeling overwhelmed or anxious by a project, 我使用的一个很好的策略是把我需要做的事情分解成更小的, more manageable pieces. 我也通过向我的朋友和家人表达我的情感,并在困难时期依靠他们的支持来练习情绪健康."

 

  • 我在一个非常鼓励健康和体育锻炼的环境中工作! 作为工作人员, I have access to the recreation center, 健身运动, and intramural sports, 这让我在每天的基础上有很多不同的体育活动选择.

  • “我实践 intellectual wellness by reading, which is one of my favorite hobbies. 当然, 我在GVSU的求学之旅也支持了我的智力健康,但我在校外一直是一个狂热的读者. 我发现阅读给了我很强的批判性思维和评估能力. 这也培养了我的好奇心,因为如果我读到一个我不了解的话题, I want to go and learn more about that topic."

 

  • "GVSU supports my wellness in the social and occupational dimensions of wellness 通过他们为学生参与组织和校园就业提供的所有选择. 我在全球之声的时间变得如此丰富,因为我能够培养的关系和我所拥有的新经历都是因为我的课外活动. 在GV的第一年,我只参加了一个学生组织,这对我以后的大学经历产生了很大的影响. 除了在校和校外工作外,我还参加了全日制课程,这也教会了我如何保持健康的工作与生活平衡. Although having to split my time can be difficult, 它教会了我如何以及何时优先考虑我的需求和我需要完成的任务."
