Dorm Room Therapy

Dorm rooms may be small, but they can still be your mental health sanctuary. Try these quick resets when stress hits:

• Box Breathing: Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. Repeat.

  
  

• Ground & Grab: Name 5 things you see, 4 touch, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste. Instant calm.

  
  

• Playlist Reset: One song that lifts your mood—dance break mandatory.

  
  

• Micro Clean: Make your bed or clear your desk. Small order = mental order.

  
  

Real Talk: 

You don’t need a spa or therapy office to care for your brain. Although I highly recommend spa da Sometimes a tiny dorm and 5 minutes is enough.
