Elearning #1 Wellness resources

This is a list of possible Activity sites, apps or useful sites that may be useful for students during this time of eLearning as a break from computers – there is a variety here to allow people to pick and choose based on their circumstances and environments and time and personal preference.

The important thing is that we are moving and that we are being mindful of our wellness at this time.

Your health and wellbeing can be affected at any time, but a prolonged time away from your usual routine, your friends, family, environments, and habits can affect our emotions and wellbeing. Please remember to be kind to yourself and to others around you.

Your Health-Related Fitness is important. It comprises of 5 different fitness components – Cardiovascular, Muscular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Flexibility and Body Composition. You can read about why these are important to everyone’s physical Health here: https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/the-secret-to-better-health-exercise

The following are a list of resources that I hope to come and back and update in time as we grow and others share ideas with me.

Mindfulness Tasks

We know that our whole self needs to be looked after – our physical, emotional, social and intellectual selves.  We have looked at our Physical Health but this has an impact on the other health components too.

Social – take time to connect with a friend/ or friends – choose a way to do this so that you are not distracted from your interactions and time with that person.  How might you spend time with them either online or in-person? 

More information:

https://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships-communication/making-good-friends.htm – This article has many reasons why our friendships are important and ways to be a good friend

Possible Tasks:

  • Do something nice for someone else
  • Send an online card or create something
  • Set up a time to meet your friend online
  • Check-in on someone who you haven’t talked to for a while – see how they are!
  • Play a virtual game together
  • Complete a Just Dance or other fun activity together – laugh!
  • Choose a song and share it with others, see what they like!

Emotional – being out of our usual routines can raise anxiety and produce feelings of stress.  Try and consider what you can do to create some habits or some routines that can bring you into control (ex. Bedtime routines/ mealtime routines/ time for family/ creating a schedule for yourself etc). 

Possible Tasks:

Mindfulness – trying to enjoy each moment at that moment is important and maybe very good for our health!

Possible Tasks:

  • Breathing exercises – take time to listen to your body and check in on yourself
  • Mindful eating – be aware of what you eat – taste, textures, smells, take time to eat your food
  • Take a walk or open a window to listen, smell, see and taste your environment
