Are you stressed out just thinking about managing your stress? You’re not alone. COVID-19 and other events surrounding 2020 and 2021 have contributed to our increased stress and anxiety.

Although we may not be able to eliminate life’s stressors, Drake’s DU Well program is inviting faculty and staff to join us for a few stress-relief activities the first week in November.

Start the week off attending a yoga flow or meditation class in the Bell Center on Nov. 1.  Then take a break and enjoy the following events, being held in the Olmsted Center:

Nov. 2 – Watch the movie Inside Out showing in Sussman Theater from 11 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Nov. 3 – Play 9 holes of mini golf in Parent’s Hall North from 11 am.–1 p.m.

Nov. 4 – Attend the Benefits and Wellness Fair in Parent’s Hall South from 9–11 a.m.

Details on this and other DU Well programs can be found in the Employee Wellness section on myDrake.
