Wellbeing Wednesday: Be Active + Learn and Enjoy

3rd and final week of our “6 ways to take care of yourself during lockdown” series! 

#5 - BE ACTIVE 

Walking with your friends, dancing in your pjs, going for a run or doing a 15 minute yoga video: anything counts! It will make you happier, less stressed, sleep better and feel more energised. Just do it! 

#6 - ENJOY AND LEARN 

Lockdown could be the time to try a new hobby, read up about a new subject, or even learn a new skill! Whatever you chose, make it fun! Documentaries, books, podcasts, online tutorials, apps – the list is endless! 

Remember, our Advice Hub as well as the University’s Wellbeing Services are still open!
