Weekly Wellbeing Themes

Vacation

It’s vacation time and if you are preparing for exams or assignments, as well as maybe working and seeing family and friends, it can be easy to miss this essential opportunity to recharge your batteries and prepare for the coming term. It is crucial to prioritise self-care to maintain your balance and wellbeing. 

Planning can be the key to achieving this. Allocate specific study hours each day, allowing ample time for relaxation, exercise and socialising. Remember ACE – Achievement, Connection and Enjoyment – all of these are necessary. Try to incorporate activities that rejuvenate your mind and body such as going for walks, practicing mindfulness or doing hobbies you enjoy. Ensure you get enough sleep to support cognitive function and to boost your memory and recall. Stay hydrated and nourish yourself with nutritious food to sustain your energy levels. Set realistic goals and manage your time effectively.  

Remember that taking breaks is not only permissible, but essential, for productivity and mental clarity. By nurturing both your academic and personal needs, you can approach Term 3 and all it brings with a refreshed and focussed mindset. 

If you would like to speak to someone at Wellbeing and Student Support, you can have a brief consultation with a Wellbeing Adviser. These are available throughout the vacation. Please access the Wellbeing Portal to join a queue for a brief consultation with an Adviser, Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm. Consultations can be face to face in Senate House, or online. They both require you to join the queue online when you are available.
