WELLBEING TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

The holiday break offers a welcome opportunity to step back, unwind and rest up for a busy term ahead. Unfortunately, students will often fall back into bad habits or undo some of the positive gains made during the year due to a lack of consistency and routine. It is easy to stay up late, sleep in of a morning, spend too much time on screens and devices, over eat  and forget to exercise.
