Speedy sources for wellbeing

As much as I want to take care of myself and learn how I can keep my mental heatlh in tip-top shape, I seldom set the time aside for myself to actually do the research.

We've all got commitments, we've all got assignments, we've all got exams. I know the importance of self-care and understanding how my brain and body work but I never feel like I have the energy or time to sit and look at a bunch of different online resources. I love a quick five or ten minute video that I can multi-task to, particularly when they're explained in a way that's easy for me to understand without too much fancy terminology. I also love a good studygram (study + Instagram) page that makes quick-tip posts for me to scroll through and save for future reference.

Here are some of my favourite quick-fix accounts and channels that I like to refer to for a short break, while I'm on the train or while I'm tidying up my workspace so I don't feel the need to break my work flow. It really helps remind me what healthy habits I can be implementing whilst I hustle!

Reels for quick motivation, resources, smarter-not-harder study methods ('You can do nothing or work' really worked for me), and many more!

Lots of topics with lots of perspectives on mental health and what you can be doing to switch your thinking around ('Why you should take a break' has a lot of great points).
