Are you feeling a little stressed, especially as we make our way to the end of the semester? See if this works.  This week do both of the self-guided meditations attached below.  For this, you will want to find a quiet place without distraction and this will take about 10-15 minutes per video to effectively complete.  You could do them both together, or each one on a separate day.  Which did you like better?  Which did you find more comfortable to do?  How did they make you feel?
