In this episode of Bearcat Wellness Minute, Suzanne von Behren reminds listeners that wellness isn’t about perfection or adding another task to a busy schedule — it’s about paying attention to yourself. She emphasizes that wellness goes beyond physical health to include mental, emotional, social, financial, and spiritual well-being.
Wellness can look different each day — whether it’s taking a walk, drinking more water, setting boundaries, asking for help, or simply resting. Small choices and simple moments, like connecting with a friend or doing something that brings joy, add up over time. She also stresses that no one is meant to navigate life alone and encourages reaching out to friends, family, or campus wellness services for support. Ultimately, wellness is an ongoing journey, and wherever you are right now is enough.
