As most people are starting Uni now it is important that we talk about our health and understand how we can manage it.
Physical Health
Our physical health is what usually springs to mind when you hear the word ‘health.’ This is unsurprising though, given that our physical health lays the foundation for our overall well-being. As a college or university student facing assignment deadlines and/or exams, some important questions to ask yourself are:
Am I getting enough sleep?
Am I regularly exercising?
Am I eating a balanced diet?
If you confidently answered yes to these questions, chances are that your physical health is in check and that you are balancing your studies with your physical well-being.
Mental and Emotional Health
Good mental and emotional health is increasingly being recognised as essential for good overall health. With growing rates of poor mental health, it’s important for us to educate ourselves and others on ways that we can improve our mental and emotional well-being to lead a healthier life. From dealing with exam stress to balancing multiple assignment deadlines, developing coping strategies is essential for a university student. University has highs and lows, but it’s important to remember that you are never alone!
I hope this helps,
