This means staying active, eating well, giving yourself enough rest and downtime, socializing, and having fun! Physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, mental, cultural and environmental health and learning are interdependent.<\/p>\n<p>How can York community members practice self-care while on campus?
