\nIn light of recent social distancing measures and the challenges that university students are facing, the Flinders Psychology Student Association\u2019s welfare officers have been hard at work putting together an online survival package to help keep up morale and wellbeing during these unusual times. Our online google drive<\/a> contains resources and information on how to promote effective learning and emotional wellbeing. While the drive was originally created exclusively for Flinders\u2019 psychology students, we\u2019ve now made it available to all students at Flinders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brain breaks<\/b><\/p>\n

On the drive, you\u2019ll see a section called \u201cbrain breaks\u201d. This folder contains activities to help you unwind or take a break from studying, without falling into the hole of lying on the couch scrolling social media. In the Brain Breaks folder you\u2019ll find motivational colouring pages, crosswords and wordsearches (some are even study related!), as well as some links to activities like online escape rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Home Exercises<\/b><\/p>\n

Exercising is great for your physical and mental health. Though, It can be difficult to get the motivation to finally start that workout routine you have been planning to do. But where to start? The drive contains videos and infographics on yoga, meditation and workout routines. These \u201chome exercises\u201d can guide you through creating that routine that can suit your at home lifestyle and cater to the social distancing measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wellbeing workbooks<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the great joys of the internet is the ability to find free resources. In the wellbeing workbooks folder, you\u2019ll find some workbooks filled with activities dedicated to promoting mental wellbeing. These are great to work through casually, in your spare time, to kill boredom, help discover yourself and lift your mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emotional Wellbeing<\/b><\/p>\n

Your wellbeing during these difficult times is the most important thing to us at FPSA. We all need to make sure we are putting our wellbeing first especially when getting the hang of online learning. It\u2019s great getting to watch your lectures in PJs but it\u2019s been a big change and we have to adapt. The \u201cEmotional Wellbeing\u201d document in the drive contains several great resources such as social media pages, mental health websites and mental organisations that can help you stay on top of everything. Feeling sluggish and unmotivated? It might be your emotional wellbeing knocking at your door saying \u201cHelp me out here!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
