October is Mental Health Month and this year Mental Health NSW is promoting the need for us to “Celebrate, Connect and Grow”. To help manage the stress and anxiety that comes with studying remember the big picture, ask yourself:
- Do I feel good about myself and my life?
- Do I have good relationships with other people?
- Am I engaging in activities that give me purpose and meaning?
Remember to:
- Celebrate the positive things in your life, the strengths and values that help you through challenging times.
- Pay attention to your relationships, reach out to others and make new friends
- Grow, expand your horizons and try something new that will be meaningful and purposeful.
- include more joy, support and meaning in your life.
- Exercise, eat healthy, get enough sleep and minimise alcohol consumption
