We challenge you to try something new this month in one of the areas below.

Click the box for directions on how to complete the challenges.

'A diet is a cure that doesn't work, for a disease that doesn't exist.'

- Sara Fishman and Judy Freespirit

1. APPRECIATE YOUR BODY

2. SAY NO TO DIET TALK

Diet culture creates thin privilege and keeps all individuals in an oppressive state, perpetuating weight stigma. Challenge it:

Physical movement is important to de-stress, build muscle, and keep you healthy. But, our culture puts emphasis on doing it to change our bodies as a primary goal and that often turns people away from exercise or creates overexercise patterns. Challenge that norm:

1. Assess Exercise Patterns

2. Change up your Insta Feed

College students need 7-9 hours of sleep for optimal physical and mental functioning. Sleep is the foundation for all you do and is a necessity and not a luxury. Prioritize your sleep by:

1. Assess your Sleep

2. Set a Consistent Schedule

SLEEP

Staying true to your values and reaching your goals requires a healthy relationship with substances. What does your relationship with alcohol, marijuana, vaping, and/or other drugs looks like? Knowing how these substances work in your body can help you make informed, healthy choices.

1. Get Educated on Substances

2. Enjoy a Sober Night
