\n

I come across way more cool wellbeing-related content than I can possibly cover here on the blog, so I’m doing the occasional \u2018linkfest<\/a>\u2019 of stuff I\u2019ve come across. This week there its how to have a happy life, how to turn a bad day around, the role of test anxiety in exam performance, alternative meditation techniques and the health of migrants.<\/p>\n

\n

What do you reckon is the #1 most important thing for a happy life?<\/a><\/p>\n

Spoiler: it might have something to do with relationships.<\/p>\n

Having a bad day? Here are some things that can turn that around.<\/a><\/p>\n

It is like a little sequence that you can follow when needed.<\/p>\n

What is the relationship between test anxiety and exam performance?<\/a><\/p>\n

It might be the case that test anxiety leads to poorer preparation.<\/p>\n

If sitting meditation isn’t your thing, there are other ways to meditate.<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking, time in nature and drawing are just a few examples to get you started.<\/p>\n

On average, migrants who come to Australia have lower rates of long-term health conditions.<\/a><\/p>\n

Is it something about the Australian lifestyle?<\/p>\n
