The four students also presented some great advice on how to reset your relationship with the news, by focusing on what you can control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Top Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only check your phone at certain times of the day. E.g Screen time apps like SmartCookie &#8211; if you complete an educational module on the app, it grants you more screen time for that week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconfigure your tech settings e.g turn off your pop up notifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose how you respond to distressing news e.g get involved with a community activity to support something you care deeply about \u2013 this could even be related to news that has affected you. eg. charity fundraising to support war refugees or just simply put your phone down and take a break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spend time with people you care about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Interrogate your thoughts e.g Challenge unhelpful thinking and put your thoughts on trial. You could ask yourself: Why do I feel this way? Is this something I can control? If not, what can I do to help myself?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Channel your anxiety by accepting responsibility for your actions e.g Climate change. Rising costs of living. You cannot assume responsibility for all of these. They are out of your control.\u00a0 However, there may be smaller actions you can take and be responsible for including: Writing to your MP and participating in local and general elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If something doesn\u2019t work, try something else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ask for professional help when you need it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were also 5 and 10-minute techniques recommended if you\u2019re feeling anxious, which you can do anytime or anyplace, including distraction techniques, adrenaline burn-off and \u2018box breathing.\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three students and Miss Munro then shared their own tips to feel less anxious, from drawing, going for a walk, meditation, laughing at funny dog videos on YouTube and giving to others, which can all help our mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heading into exams week, their final piece of advice was to help and support each other. Be positive and try to understand everyone will deal with the week differently. If you prepare and try hard, then that&#8217;s all you can do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":41631,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[109,50,61],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 &#8226;
