7 Ways To Look After Number One

7 Ways To Look After Number One

My students are starting to show the strain of the end of term, and so I thought I would write a little post on health and looking after number one, ourselves. We are often too busy to think about looking after ourselves but there are simple things we can do to improve this. 

7 ways to look after number one

  1. Drink plenty of water:

    Get yourself a nice cup and sip it all day long

  2. Do not skip breakfast:

    Eat fruit or yoghurt, or some warm winter porridge

  3. Eat more food that grows on trees/plants - less processed/manufactured foods:

    A fruit salad for breakfast - steamed veg for lunch and a snack of nuts and seeds throughout the day

  4. Sleep for 7-8hours a night:

    Make the bed a warm and cosy place with clean bedding, a relaxing candle, and lavender pillow spray, and switch your phone off

  5. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day:

    Breathe, think but not too much!!

  6. Exercise daily (try):

    Even just a brisk walk, go for a swim, jog

  7. Live with Energy, Empathy, and Enthusiasm:

    Smile more, it’s a good start.
