It\u2019s\u00a0nearly the end of trimester! Well done for making it this far.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this is a time to be proud, it can also be a very stressful time. Exams are just around the corner, and\u00a0there’s\u00a0lots of revision to be done.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0more important now than ever to make sure you are being mindful of your wellbeing and including self-care in your study schedule.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is self-care\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0have to be a trip to the Maldives (though that\u00a0would\u00a0be nice!) It can be any simple and time-efficient activity that brings you joy. Because all that revision still needs to be done!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not try a nice\u00a0walk in\u00a0nature? Bonus points for bringing a friend along to have a nice chat. Extra bonus points for bringing a furry friend. Go to the gym if\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0more your style. Or something slower like reading a good book, enjoying a cup of tea or\u00a0coffee with a friend, or watching a\u00a0favourite\u00a0TV show.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can try\u00a0 more traditional mindfulness too.\u00a0There are\u00a0lots of apps\u00a0that\u00a0can guide you through\u00a0meditation practices.\u00a0Here is a list of recommended apps you could check out\u00a0<\/span>Free mindful apps worthy of your attention<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or you could try\u00a0your own unguided meditation. Just sit anywhere you can get comfortable and\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be disturbed, close your eyes and breathe. Even a few minutes can help. Maybe give it a try right before an exam to calm those nerves!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However\u00a0you choose to take care of yourself during this time, we wish you all the best with your exams and final assignments. Remember if you ever need some extra support, the\u00a0<\/span>Griffith counselling service<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is available to all students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
