• Mental Health Maintenance (From Green NAU): Health and wellness are critical in times of crisis, and here at Green NAU we’d like to give you some ideas and reminders of how you can maintain your mental health while we adapt to our current situation.

1. Be sure to drink water! A change in routine can cause us to forget to take care of our bodies, and hydration is very important.
2. Get outside and take in the fresh air! Staying active is important for keeping you and your brain awake and prepared for the day.
3. Try and snack on fresh produce rather than salty or fatty snacks – this will improve your mood as well. Here are some fun and easy vegan snack ideas!
4. Reach out to friends and family! Set up a Zoom call or Google Hangout so you can catch up with those you don’t get to see while social distancing.
5. Try the Headspace app! For short meditations, anxiety-reducing stretching, and fun animations to help visualize mental health! This app is free and incredibly helpful to reduce anxiety and stress.
6. Like us on Facebook (Green NAU), and follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@greennau) to stay up-to-date with our sustainable journey as we traverse this new experience together.
