A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body

YOUR MIND

SLEEP Our brains and bodies repair and recover when sleeping. Make sure you get to bed early and get lots of quality sleep.

SOCIAL It’s good to talk! Speak about your worries if you have any. Communicate with your family and stay connected with friends.

SCREENTIME With MS Teams sessions and Firefly tasks you are spending lots of time on your screens. Be sure to take regular breaks to give your eyes and brain a rest.

RELAX Get a drink, go for a walk, try some meditation/breathing exercises, read a book or play in the garden! Take frequent breaks from your work to let your mind relax.

YOUR BODY

ACTIVITY Aim to be active for at least one hour a day. See the PE & Sport Department Firefly pages for ideas & challenges.

NUTRITION Do your best to eat a healthy balanced diet. Keep your mind and body fuelled for academic work and physical exercise.

POSTURE Poor posture could result in head, neck and back pain. Think about your posture while you are working.

HYDRATION Just a 2% drop in hydration can have a negative effect on your mental and physical performance. Drinking regularly to stay hydrated is important.
