Tips for a Healthy Lockdown

Considerations for a Healthy Lockdown

  • Apply Self-Care practices
    • Take a moment to do a self-audit- how are you?
    • Respect warning signs & action supports
    • Keep a diary
  • Stay connected- to family, friends, colleagues, clubs, work
  • Put challenges into perspective
  • Focus on positives
  • Ensure you have a quality life balance
    • Own time, family, friends, work, hobbies
  • Take opportunities
    • Go for a walk
    • Take regular breaks
    • Read that book you’ve been meaning to start/finish
    • Get out in nature- even if just the garden tidy-up, plant something or simply to eat lunch
    • Reach out and connect with that long-lost friend, local or abroad
    • Do that interest of yours that has been sitting on the backburner for a while
    • Do some home cooking
    • Play music during the day
    • Tell a joke/read a joke/watch a comedy
    • Set yourself a small and achievable goal, daily or other.
  • Maintain/ Establish good habits
    • Consistent sleep patterns- wake up/go to bed times
    • Look to maintain simple but important routines
    • Eat well
    • Set healthy work routines- block times out for non-work activities (especially post 5pm)
  • Respect screen time durations- computer/phone/tv etc.
  • Apply the KISS principle- less is more/quality not quantity
  • Order of Priorities- yourself, your family, then your work

We have an important role to play in the community, to model healthy practices in times of challenge. How we carry & conduct ourselves is, in itself, is a lesson to our students.

Supports are there for you- just reach out. 😊
