Follow these tips to nurture your wellbeing and increase your resilience.

1. Share
   Don’t keep things bottled up. Talking about your feelings with friends, family
   or your teacher or Head of Year is not a sign of weakness but of taking
   charge of your own wellbeing.
2. Balance studying with other activities
   Follow your passions and keep up your hobbies. You need a break from
   your studies.
3. Accept who you are
   You are unique, don’t compare yourself to other people. Each person is on
   a different journey and following their own path.
4. Be kind to yourself and others 
   Helping others makes you feel better about yourself, even something as
   small as a smile, a thank you or a kind word. Everyone appreciates an act
   of kindness.
5. Get active
   Regular exercise can boost your self-esteem, help you concentrate and
   improve your sleep. Walk, cycle, dance or try something completely new.
   It’s a great way to make new friends too.
6. Eat healthily
   There are strong links between what we eat and how we feel. Eat regular
   meals and make sure you get some fruit and veg in every day.
7. Sleep well.  Sleep is important to your physical and mental health. Sleep improves
   memory and concentration, reduces stress and anxiety. You should be
   aiming for between seven and nine hours of sleep each night.
8. Unplug
   Switch off phones and social media for a short time each day. A change of
   scene is good for mental health. Go for a walk, sit, think and breathe.
