How to Avoid March Madness: Winning Mental Health Tips
March brings the excitement of the NCAA basketball tournament and the whirlwind of spring in Utah County, “March Madness” can feel overwhelming—whether it’s cheering for your team or juggling life’s chaos. At Aspen Counseling Services, we’re here to help you stay grounded. Our teletherapy and in-office sessions in Highland, Orem, and St. George offer support to navigate stress, so you can enjoy the season without burnout.
One way to dodge March Madness is to set boundaries around screen time. With games and social media buzzing, it’s easy to get swept away—studies show excessive screen time can spike anxiety. Try limiting game-watching and scrolling to a few hours, then step outside for a walk or stretch. Our therapists can guide you with coping strategies during affordable teletherapy sessions, often with zero or low copay, keeping your mental health in play.
Another trick is to lean on routine to tame the madness. March’s unpredictable energy—whether from basketball brackets or spring transitions—can disrupt sleep or focus. Create a simple nightly ritual, like journaling or a warm drink, to signal rest. When the madness feels too much, reach out—our team at Aspen Counseling Services is here. Teletherapy offers flexibility and affordability, with many plans featuring no copay, so you can reset from home or visit our office locations in Highland, Orem, and St. George.
