Here are DAFTS Top 5 aparto x Melanie Murphy favourite top tips from the night
Get enough sleep! If you struggle with this, evaluate your room (tidy, make it cosy) and practice a relaxing bedtime ritual. (a bath, stretching, meditation, deep breathing or an audiobook!)
Try to include whole foods in your diet as much as you can!
Move your body a few times a week in a way that feels good…endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body!
Are you getting enough face-to-face time with your family/friends? If not, schedule in time to connect with them. Talking to peers is so good for your mental health.
Make time for activities that mentally stimulate you (such as reading or working on a project that you’re passionate about!).
Melanie on the night: ‘I’m very bloody lucky. The loveliest audience. Big love to aparto for the #apartofwellbeing event it was so well run…goodie bags and food and music, had a brilliant time! Was fab to be shown around the premises too – they have student accommodation around the UK and Ireland but it’s so much more than a place to stay, I love that they focus so much on providing students with opportunities to meet and connect with others from around the world…college can be a lonely place and movie nights, yoga events etc are such great ideas to help students feel part of something, a real home away from home!”.
