我们的哲学
The 学生健康中心 believes in an inclusive definition of spirituality that recognizes we are all inextricably connected to one another by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is rooted in love and compassion. 灵性 can mean many things including religious beliefs, 冥想, 祈祷, 正念, 或是一种内心的平静. 灵性 is the quality of being concerned with the human soul, naturally lending itself to social justice when we are empowered to act according to our beliefs. 我们尊重所有文化, 传统, and spiritual and religious practices and support students' own understanding of spirituality as it brings a sense of perspective, 意义, 和他们生活的目标.

全心全意为生活
It can be scary to dive into something new without the familiarity of your friends or hometown. But college is a time to let yourself find who you really are. Embrace the challenges and say yes! 观看这个视频 on Shonda Rhime’s journey of saying yes to everything. When someone asks you to FaceTime or asks if you want to study with them, try saying yes even if you don’t 100% want to. 对更多的人说“是”, you’re setting yourself to find more 意义ful relationships even in places you might not have expected. But don’t forget to save a little time for yourself too! 阅读这些 10 Guideposts for Wholehearted Living: An Actionable Guide.
是虔诚的 & 反光
When was the last time you let your mind be still? If you feel stressed or overwhelmed, instead of scrolling through TikTok for the next 10 minutes, 试着关掉你的大脑. 不要玩手机, 不要使用笔记本电脑, 不要打开电视, don’t plan out the rest of your day or worry about your exam next week. 只是. Sit in a comfortable place or go for a walk outside and be in nature to take a step back from the stress and be in the moment. 观看这个视频 - all it takes is 10 mindful minutes!
培养感恩之心
想要快乐? 心存感激. 观看这个视频 to slow down, look around, and allow yourself to see the beauty in the world around you. 在这个不确定的时代, it can be difficult to find ways to feel grateful, but remember that gratitude can be simple. Start a note on your phone and write down the things that make you smile throughout the day. They don’t have to be big, just highlight a few bright spots. Simple things like blooming flowers, 在外面吃午饭, or lighting a new candle can bring moments of joy. At the end of the day, look over your list to see all the things that are bringing you comfort.

When do you feel most connected to something greater than yourself? 阅读本文 on how you can make space for spirituality and 反映ion in your life.
