Prolonged stress can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. It is important to take everything one day at a time and to give yourself grace.
While the pace of life only seems to get faster by the day, make sure to prioritize yourself and set aside time to do things that make you happy and well, and do not be scared to ask for help when you are struggling.

Today (Wednesday), marks the beginning of the season of Lent, the season in the Christian church when we remember the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, fasting and praying, prior to the beginning of his ministry.
Many Christians choose to observe Lent by participating in an intentional spiritual practice, such as fasting, Scripture reading, prayer, generosity, or service. It is a season set aside for repentance and acknowledgment of human weakness, toward greater trust in the Savior.
The season of Lent begins today and ends on Easter Sunday, April 4. The university pastors invite you to observe this time with us in one of the following ways:
Ash Wednesday
The university pastors will be available at two stations on campus for COVID-safe distribution of ashes. We will be at a table on the quad and outside of the SpiL House from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Ash Wednesday Worship Service
Worship will be held from 4:30 to 5 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Due to limited seating, please reserve your spot on the iAttended app (undergrads only).
Lenten Scripture Reading Guide
This daily Scripture reading guide will be available on the SpiL webpage from Feb. 16 to April 4.
Life Groups
These seven-week Life Groups are available for undergraduates and begin the week after Ash Wednesday and conclude the week after Easter. We are offering digital groups and hybrid groups. Click here to learn more.
