Hannah, a third year Psychology student talks about Be Well Week:<\/p>\n
So, January\u2019s over. You dusted off those trainers, took that running app out of storage and crammed yourself into a sweaty gym along with hundreds of others in the pursuit of physical health. Now, it\u2019s March and it\u2019s time to spring clean that mind as supported by Be Well Week<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve got tonnes on offer to you as we understand the tunnel-vision which can accompany second semester. It can feel a bit like the lights have dimmed down in your headspace, so all that is illuminated is your textbooks and the missing notes in your folder, what you \u2018should\u2019<\/i>\u00a0have been doing. But there is the rest of the room that needs taking care of: poetry books left unread by your bedside, an untouched yoga mat, new recipes left by your kitchen counter, still yet-to-be-tried.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it you\u2019ve worked incredibly hard to get into this university, so let\u2019s keep maintaining and developing what makes you feel that light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For me, one of those activities is the weekly dog walks<\/a> run by the Wellbeing Service. Call me clich\u00e9, but there really is nothing that compares to hanging out with a dog for an hour in the sun. Not only is it a great time to work on my high-pitched dog voice, but it is also great opportunity to chat to others while doing some exercise. There is something so freeing about walking the route we take, it really reminds you that there is a whole world on your doorstep, beyond academia, which is there whenever you need it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
