Weekly Wellbeing Themes
Finding your Balance
Achieving a healthy work-life balance can often feel like a challenge. During busier periods, the pressure can become overwhelming, making it difficult to find even a moment for a break.
A helpful way to assess your own balance is by using the ACE acronym:
- Achievement
- Connection
- Enjoyment
We thrive best when our daily routines incorporate all three. This doesn't require a perfect split every single day; priorities will naturally shift throughout the year. However, when one area is neglected for too long, we usually begin to feel the impact quite quickly. If you are already feeling overwhelmed or experiencing a low mood, maintaining this routine can feel even more difficult.
To help you manage your personal and academic commitments more effectively, you may wish to explore our Work Life Balance self-help resource for practical tips and strategies.
If you are struggling to identify opportunities outside of your studies, please do visit the Wellbeing What’s On page to see what's happening across the community.
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.
