Something I’ve found as self-care is my music. A lot of my friends and family would know quite a good amount of money has been put into CDS, Records, and concerts. I don’t think I would have survived freshmen year of high school without it. It’s always nice to just be able to sit in your room with dim lighting …
I thought I had everything figured out before medical school. I had a good study schedule, strong networking skills, and figured out what field I wanted to go into. What I hadn’t planned for was how important it would be to take care of myself. That became clear during my second year. Between studying for the USMLE Step 1 and …
Last year during my AP Precalculus class, my teacher would post notes down on our desks every day, and for the first twenty-one days of class, we had to list three things we were grateful for and stick them on the door. To my teacher’s credit, most people believe it takes twenty-one days to form a habit due to an …
My name is Chloe Campbell, and I am a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Xavier University. Although I have come to love my environment, my school, and my community here in Cincinnati, that wasn’t always the case. I am originally from a small town in southeastern Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia. At eighteen, I moved ten …
As a graduate student, I am no stranger to busy schedules, running from place to place, and sometimes feeling like there just isn’t enough time in one day. Between classes at UC, internship hours at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and working as an intern here at 1N5, my schedule often feels far from simple. I have always been someone who likes …
I remember a very specific therapy session that I had last year. We were uncovering some of the emotions I’d buried a long time ago surrounding my parents’ divorce. Long story short, I buried those feelings and became a workaholic student, who eventually graduated into a workaholic. Hard work and achievement became my way of avoiding those hard feelings. But like …
Hello! My name is Sophia Hunt, and I am a general intern with 1N5. I am currently a senior at Miami University studying Psychology, and this fall I will begin graduate coursework for Miami’s combined Masters of Social Work program while completing my senior year. As I prepare for some of the busiest years of my life, I’ve found myself …
Self-care is defined differently for everyone. For some, it may look like bubble baths and yoga. For others, it might be taking a walk in the sunshine or spending time with a beloved pet. Everyone has their own way of coping with life’s stressors, but self-care does not always take the form of individual activities. Sometimes, self-care means asking someone …
There’s something extra sweet about sunshine and summer time – a chance to pause, rest, reconnect, play, restore. One of my personal favorite ways to enjoy summer is by reading. Whether you prefer library books, printed copies, magazines, audiobooks, being read to, or e-readers, books have magical power that can boost your mental health in various ways. Mindfulness – For …
The prevailing wisdom these days is “You have to take care of yourself before you take care of others.” Self-care has become synonymous with finding balance in stressful times, and rightfully so. Yoga, fitness and strength training, walks in nature, prioritizing rest… They’re all extremely important acts of self-care that you should try to build into your schedule. But I …
