Weekly Wellbeing Themes
Living Well
Living well, building healthy behaviours, and maintaining a steady work-life balance are essential for your success, yet we recognise how tricky this can be to manage at times.
During busier periods of the academic year—especially when faced with conflicting deadlines or upcoming exams—it is easy to feel overwhelmed. In these moments, healthy behaviours are often the first things we let slip, making it harder to sustain the balance we need.
The Importance of Rest
To avoid burnout and maintain long-term productivity, it is vital to balance your workload with intentional rest and relaxation. Working consistently without taking time for yourself is unsustainable; taking regular breaks is actually a key part of looking after your mental health and staying effective.
If you feel you need practical tips on how to recalibrate, our Self-Help Resources are an excellent place to start for strategies on finding your balance.
All students can access the Student Health and Wellbeing Service for support. Check out our website to see what services we offer and to explore our self-help resources. Brief consultations are typically the starting point for support. They are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can speak with a Health & Wellbeing Practitioner face-to-face in Senate House or online via Teams. To get started, use the Wellbeing Portal to begin a brief consultation or to submit an inquiry directly to the Disability Services team.
