How can we look after ourselves and manage our stress when we are spending all of this extra time at home, especially when we are spending so more time with others in our households. Here are our Top Ten tips to help us all out and manage our stress levels.
  1. Create a daily Routine - Getting up, dressing, eating, working, relaxing, exercising, showering, bedtime
  2. Create dedicated spaces - If at all possible, have different areas to work, relax, eat, and exercise
  3. Follow your College timetable - Do your work in class times. It's good for your mind and helps with stress
  4. Make sure you have downtime - Reward yourself with time to relax, maybe online, or TV, music, & books
  5. Take screen breaks - Social Media, Internet, phone & TV help us interact, but too much increases stress
  6. Eat Healthily - 3 meals a day, lots of fruit and veg when you can, stay hydrated. Avoid continual junk food 
  7. Get a decent sleep - Sleep when its dark, set a regular bedtime, turn off the screens. It helps with stress
  8. Get fit - Daily exercise. Inside or outside, internet exercise tips. Start on 10 mins a day, then build it up
  9. Challenge yourself - Do something different. Art, Drawing, Reading, Music, do a MOOC, learn to cook
  10. Be Kind - To yourself and others. We are human, young & old. It's hard. Deep breaths, Count to 10. Smile
