Happy Self-Care Sunday, cougars! ☁︎ How important can strength training be?

Lifting weights builds muscle and overall body strength, but it is also proven to reduce stress in the body and mind. Strength training also builds discipline, and requires focus to improve your mind and body!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Real Monsters Art Workshop and Exhibit in collaboration with The Makery on October 8th. 💚

A huge thank you to The Makery for providing a creative and safe space for students to create their worry monsters. ❤

During the art workshop, students had the opportunity to create a worry monster based on mental health illnesses or an overwhelming emotion through visual representation. 🗒🖍

After the art workshop, we revealed Toby Allen's ongoing personal project, Real Monsters, which explores mental health through character design. Allen's project aims to reduce mental health stigma and educate about lesser-known mental health illnesses.

For more information about Toby Allen's project, go to https://www.zestydoesthings.com/realmonsters

If you're interested in joining a similar event, join us this Wed 11/19 in the Makery from 5-6:30pm to make piñatas and talk about 1st gen experiences! 🪅

Hey Cougars! Happy self-care Sunday! ☀️

With Thanksgiving being in November, this month is naturally the month of gratitude. Here are four things you can do to be grateful. 🍁

Gratitude doesn't always have to be said aloud or put on display. Simply express your gratitude for everything in your life, including the simple act of waking up each day.

Spirituality and love are great ways to stay grounded. Remember to always spread kindness and love. ⭐️

Enjoy your Sunday, and tell someone that you are thankful for them being in your life. ❤️
