Post contributed by Jasmin, Welfare Lead<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Jasmin, and I\u2019m one of the Residence Welfare Leads here at King\u2019s. Members of our team live on-site at each residence to provide welfare support for our student community. Moving into residences is a big change, even without some of the additional stresses we are facing this year, and it\u2019s totally normal to be feeling worried or overwhelmed. Your wellbeing is really important and so we thought we\u2019d share a bit about self-care!<\/p>\n

What is self-care?\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

It can be really easy to get lost in buzzwords, so we\u2019ll keep it simple here. Self-care is anything you consciously do to promote your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.<\/p>\n

What kind of things can I do?<\/h1>\n

Self-care is a personal thing and it looks different for everyone! It doesn\u2019t have to be expensive or time-consuming and regularly choosing an activity that takes 10 minutes or less can make a real difference. Action For Happiness<\/a> have some great tips on their #SelfCareSeptember daily action calendar.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also listed a few ideas below, and you can check out the KCLSU Wellbeing Hub<\/a> for activities, events and resources around King\u2019s to boost wellbeing all year round.<\/p>\n
