This week I wanted to get a discussion going about something that a lot of people find difficult. Meditation is a pretty broad term that covers many activities that focus on relaxation - some people say it’s like exercise for the brain because over time it can rewire neural pathways.

There is... read more

We're constantly being bombarded with negative things happening in the world. Global warming, terrorism, and the forever-increasing cost of living can make the world seem like a pretty crappy place.

But it's not all bad news! In fact, the world is actually safer now than it has ever been!

Hey everyone!

This wellbeing activity is about planning for when things don't go our way.

We've all been in situations where we've come so close to accomplish a goal. You're so ready to GET IT DONE!

Until...Life gets in the way. And suddenly that goal seems totally out of reach.

I have trouble with mak... read more

If you’ve been trying to make sense of how you’ll stay well, whilst also following the government's advice to stay indoors as much as possible, you are not alone. Most people are scratching their heads wondering how to cover off on their usual self care.

Many of you may have seen the Wheel of W... read more

This coping strategy was recommended to me at a time when I was feeling very overwhelmed. I found it useful so I thought we could do a bit of a wellbeing activity based on it! I hope you find it helpful too! I don't know a lot about the science behind it, but I do know this is a dbt skill, which bas... read more

This week, I was thinking we could all try to do one thing (or more!) that you haven’t ever tried, but would like to- while being COVID safe of course! Sometimes, doing something new can be a little daunting. Whether it’s because you get worried of the outcome, how you’ll feel if you can’t achieve w... read more

Hi everyone!

This weekly wellbeing is inspired by a game I would play when I was younger. I pretended I was a news reporter and would film myself commentating on what was happening around my house during the day. For some bizarre reason my show was called "Show off your cat encore encore" 🤣 possibly because my... read more

In a really busy week, it’s often hard to take some time to slow down and listen to your what your mind and body needs to be healthy. Mindfulness is such a great word!

This week’s activity is a fun way to spend time doing something you loved (and maybe still love) but forgot about overtime! Think about a time from your childhood or just any time years ago, where you felt happy doing something. Can you think of old childhood TV shows? Old movies? Old hobbies? Old b... read more

Whether your stuck in lockdown, or bored at home, crafting is a great way to pass the time. For this week's wellbeing activity, your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to make something with materials lying around at home! The point is, you shouldn't have to go out and buy anything, so yo... read more

Being at home all day because of lockdown can be very boring. It's easy to get into a cycle or routine that makes the hours go by yet it feels empty or time wasted especially with chores and housework.

Hi everyone,This week's wellbeing activity is about celebrating our favourite apps that have made life a lot easier for us!

There is a growing evidence (pardon the pun)  that connecting with nature does wonders for mental well-being! We explored how being in nature makes us feel in this well being activity.

Hey guys! This week being in lockdown for me has been QUITE TOUGH 😫, but during one of my online lessons, my teacher recommended we should practise affirmation for our wellbeing. Now, what is that 🤔? Affirmation refers to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment, "a positive mental a... read more

Wellbeing Activity: Support Networks

Hi everyone! We’re back with another weekly wellbeing activity.

Something that I think is so important, is knowing who is in your support network. Knowing who you can go to for help or advice when you’re feeling down and knowing you can rely on them to help make yo... read more

As we continue to make it through COVID and a potential extended lockdown for Sydney, It's important that we don't neglect to check in on those we hold close. 😀

Personally, because of uni, I have been so busy that I haven't had the chance to talk to any of my friends, and with lockdown happening d... read more

• First, you should come up with your own superhero. If you need prompts you're... read more

Sometimes, writing our thoughts down on paper can be super therapeutic! Maybe it’s something you’ve already told someone about or maybe it’s something you’re keeping to yourself but feel like you need to get it out somewhere, somehow… journaling could be the answer!

I personally find journaling such... read more
