10 Ways to Boost your Emotional Wellbeing!

Below are 10 ways you can help yourself to improve your emotional wellbeing.

  • Keep active- exercise is good for your physical and emotional health
  • Eat well- eat mood boosting foods like bananas, nuts, dark chocolate, berries (look at the previous blog re mood boosting foods on this blog)
  • Drink plenty of fluids- keep well hydrated, this helps you to keep healthy and allows you to think clearly.
  • Read a book- take some time to sit quietly and ‘switch off’ from social media and enjoy a good book.
  • Talk to others- keep in touch with family and friends.
  • Remember the positives- remember your strengths, what you are good at and what you enjoy.
  • Ask for help- it is ok to ask for support from others, talk to your friends, parents, or access Big White Wall.
  • Self-help- look at the resources on the ‘all student’ emails, the Tutorial newsletter, the Emotional well-being blog, Big White Wall, Kooth and MIND.
  • Relax- take time to just relax, listen to music, go for a gentle walk, self-care- take a bath or shower, wash your hair, paint your nails, colour, practice yoga!
  • Do something you enjoy each day- find something you enjoy and do this each day, choose a different activity for each day. Plant some bulbs, bake, write a journal, get arty or crafty!
  • Keeping yourself well is the key to good emotional wellbeing. There are lots of websites which you can access which have a wealth of information on how to positively manage your wellbeing. Take a look at the all student email sent to you on 08.04.20 with agency support information and online resources.

    Please also remember Big White Wall, all students have free access to BWW via their Wyke email, there are new courses available to you which focus on a range of topics including:

  • Managing stress and worry
  • Managing self-harm
  • Managing depression
  • Improving your sleep

  • Remember, you are not alone, there is support available to you and you can take control of how you manage this time. Remember, you are doing great!!
