- Use idle moments (waiting, between classes) to be present rather than reaching for your phone.
- Engage in simple activities like stretching, drinking water, or observing your surroundings.
- Monitor Overall Well-being:
- Diet: Focus on consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and B vitamins to support brain health. Limit junk food intake.

Additional Recommendations:
