Welcome Back to Your Health and Wellbeing Kit!

We understand that this time of year can be stressful — with mid-year exams, tests, SACs, and the end of a long term approaching, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

While it is difficult to eliminate stress completely, we can build habits that help us manage it better and stay focused. One of the best ways to do this is by creating effective study routines that help you keep going, even when you’re tired or under pressure.

 

🌱 Try the Flora App

A helpful (and free!) tool to support your study routine is the Flora App.
Flora helps you:

  • Stay focused by growing virtual trees when you stay off your phone
  • Create to-do lists to keep tasks organised
  • Block social media and other apps during study sessions so you’re less tempted to scroll

It’s a fun and effective way to build healthy study habits — especially when distractions are everywhere.

 

Don’t Forget the Basics

  • Stay hydrated – it can significantly increase your focus and energy!
  • Move your body daily – a short walk, stretch, or workout can help reset your mind and reduce stress- A good way to do this is a quick dance workout, they are fun and effective! The Fitness Marshall is YouTube channel that has lots of dance workouts with varying difficulties and is a good start for those trying to add some more physical activity into their day. Linked below is a dance you can try out from their channel!

Stress might be part of school life, but with the right habits in place, you can keep your body and mind resilient, focused, and ready to take on challenges.
