Three is a magic number

We get it, juggling classes and the everyday grind can be a real handful. Lectures, hanging out with friends, and personal growth can sometimes mess with your head and body. But there is a solution: adding some exercise, mindfulness, and a dash of creativity to your routine can seriously boost you. It's not just about staying healthy, it's about being happy and feeling like you can do everything you want to!

Exercise

Working out isn't just for the gym rats - it's essential for everyone to do a little when they can as doing so has so many benefits:

• Smarter brains: When you sweat it out, your brain gets a boost. More blood flows up there, which means better memory and focus.
• Stress-busting and happy vibes: Exercise lets out endorphins that help reduce stress and anxiety. Yoga and pilates are perfect for light exercise that relieves the most stress and helps boost your mood.
  
• Sweet slumber: Regular exercise brings sweeter dreams. It's like a lullaby for insomnia. And trust us, a good night's sleep is your secret weapon.
  
• More energy: Running low? You'd think exercise would just take up more energy but it actually helps strengthen your endurance meaning in the long term you will have more energy.
  

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is all about being present in the now and training your mind to be happy with how things are and not unnecessarily judging yourself or others. Taking the time to practice mindfulness can have multiple benefits:

• More control of your emotions: Mindfulness is like your emotions' personal trainer. You'll get a grip on those feels, which means healthier relationships and personal growth.
• Be prepared for the bumps: When things go wrong or you're feeling low, mindfulness practices can help you know how to properly react and process these feelings. 
  
• Bounce-back power: Mindfulness equips you with the tools to tackle life's hurdles like a champ. Know exactly what to do to pull yourself back up and feel happy again.
  

Creativity

Creativity isn't just something you're born with, you can grow it and express it however you want. Encouraging your inner creative genius comes with lots of benefits too:

• Problem-solving: Creative thinking helps you come up with solutions to problems. It's all about tackling challenges from all sorts of funky angles, which means you'll come up with cooler, more effective solutions.
• Smooth talker: Expressing your creativity can help with your communications too. Whether it's academic or nailing a social situation, you'll be able to handle more with a creative outlook.
  
• Confidence boost: Encouraging creativity allows students to express themselves more freely, increasing their self-confidence.
  
• Flexibility and adaptability: Creative individuals tend to be more adaptable and flexible when faced with change or uncertainty, an essential skill for personal and professional growth.
  
• Personal satisfaction: Engaging in creative pursuits can be personally fulfilling, providing an outlet for self-expression and stress relief.
