Wellness Wednesdays<\/h2>\n

Throughout the semester, the Counseling and Wellness Services Office will be posting tips and videos to boost your mental and physical health!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This week, we want to bring you a quick coping technique: Positive Affirmations. The use of affirmations is a great technique to use when you\u2019re feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, especially during a hectic week like finals week!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sentence above is an example of a positive affirmation. They are simply positive statements or phrases that challenge a negative or critical thought that we are experiencing as a result of stress or anxiety. Examples of positive affirmations can be focused on self-esteem, like \u201cI am an intelligent person\u201d or \u201cPeople like being around me,\u201d or other statements can be focused on lowering stress like \u201cI have studied for this final all semester\u201d or \u201cThis situation is only temporary and will be over soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are many benefits of using affirmations in our daily lives. Affirmations have been shown to decrease stress, increase academic achievement, positively influence physical behavior, and lessen the significance of harmful or threatening messages or events.

Our office is available for appointments Monday \u2013 Friday starting at 9 a.m., with our last session being scheduled at 3 p.m. You may call us at (518) 629-7320, email us at\u00a0counseling@hvcc.edu<\/a>\u00a0or stop in at Siek Campus Center, room 260, to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n
