Getting the Most Out of Summer

Send me your Questions and CommentsThere's this pervasive, seductive myth of the endless summer among college students when spring semester finishes. Summer just feels long in the beginning, doesn't it? Three glorious months stretching out before your kiddo, promising unlimited possibilities. But here’s the harsh reality: it’s not. Without even an ounce of structure, without any guiding intent, those three months vanish—Poof! College students desperately need just enough planning, just enough forward-thinking, to avoid falling into the insidious trap of "I'll do it later." Because without even a little bit of foresight, without establishing some basic goals, later almost invariably becomes never. The days bleed into one another, and suddenly, it’s August, and nothing meaningful has been accomplished.So, given this potential for drift, what should your college kiddo be focusing on? I have six absolutely must-have summer habits for college students. These are not suggestions; they are non-negotiables. They are thoroughly research-backed principles for well-being. And they are, unequivocally, absolutely protective for mental health. I’ve broken them down in today's episode and I call them the Six Pillars of a Satisfying Summer. Not a catchy title but I think you'll like hearing how students can get the most out of summer (no matter how much is left).https://www.youtube.com/channel/motivatecounselinghttps://robdanzman.com/
