Attending to every detail is essential if we want to reduce stress, anxiety, and selfishness. A crucial component of our personal development is dealing with areas of our lives that we really shouldn't have to cope with.

Happy Monday Wildcats! Lets attack this week by challenging ourselves!💪
You can stretch the limits of what you can accomplish as an individual by challenging yourself. You'll develop self-assurance, resiliency, and drive.

You'll discover chances, set new objectives, and perhaps accomplish something spectacular. Additionally, you'll feel accomplished for having achieved everything on your own.🥰🫶

Happy Monday Wildcats!
Get outside and see the views of Chico! Absorb that Vitamin D and enjoy this beautiful weather! 🌞🌻🌼🌺💐🌾
How are YOU going to take the scenic route?

Make sure you take time to yourself!

You definitely aren't experiencing the benefits of self-care when you are the last thing on your list of priorities. Thankfully, pushing yourself further up your to-do list may result in less stress, improved health, and an overall higher standard of living. Your mood, cognitive function, and memory can all benefit from taking some time to unwind and decompress.

Relaxation will enable your body and psyche to heal. You'll decide more wisely. Additionally, it will help you maintain a healthy weight, strengthen your immune system, and reduce your chance of heart attacks, hypertension, depression, and anxiety.😴🌞

Happy Wednesday Wildcats! We want to challenge to try a new recipe this week!

We want to encourage you to attempt this just when you feel like you have the space and resources to do so, since we are aware that not everyone has the time or resources to prepare a healthy dmeal every day.

Wait for particular ingredients to go on sale before purchasing them, or maybe ask a partner or friend to watch the kids while you prepare. Whatever you choose to do, don't put any pressure on yourself; the goal here should be to have fun!🙂🤩

A healthy diet (but not restricting consumption), exercise, getting enough sleep, managing stress, discovering joy in life, and intuitive eating—following hunger cues and eating mindfully—are all examples of HAES practices. Let's debunk these myths and start spreading the awesomeness of Health at Every Size! 🙂🥦🥑🍒🍉🥖🍗🌯

I hope you all had a fantastic and relaxing break!💐🌷

Let's start this week off this Monday by introducing Jen Elsen! She is a Nutrition Food Science major at Chico State. She is applying to the Dietetics program in spring 2023 and aspires to become a Registered Dietitian at the end of her school journey. She completed a Health 4 All! Internship during the summer, which led her to begin a new position as program assistant community health promoter at the Center for Healthy Communities. For fun and relaxation, she enjoys practicing yoga, playing with her pugs, camping with her husband, and engaging in mindful movement with friends.

Happy Spring Break Wildcats! 🌷💐🪴🌱
