I also find exercise and walking to be beneficial because they offer a new perspective in your daily routine. I find that colouring books is also very relaxing and can be done while listening to your favourite music.

My favourite thing to do is to set a hammock just outside of PG, listen to music and just vibe.

This means that some things I'll do include reading, baking, going to the gym, going for a run, taking a shower, cleaning my room, and making a Spotify playlist.

I start with a long bath and do things like dropping a bath soap bomb, applying hair products and so on. I then order food outside and eat whatever I want while watching television. Sometimes, I meet my friends and we go on long walks together!

I have already begun this process by deleting certain social media platforms from my phone. I feel that more time away from my phone will lead to better sleep and more productive days. When possible, I also like to incorporate walks into my day to get some fresh air and move around.

Emotionally, journaling and talking to others are forms of self-care I  tend to.

Sometimes, particularly in university, it can become easy to get caught up in the wave of school work and examinations, among other things. The moments where I remember to step back and appreciate the sunset, or the tea that my friend got me on the way to class, or the way a bird lays perched on a tree are important in adding a sense of value, and even joy to the chaos of a school day. I additionally find joy in taking time for self-care and spending time with my friends and family. Spending time on activities like these that make you happy are quite important.

I was working on a large assignment that I felt completely awful about completing, in that I had no faith in my ability finish it, let alone do well. My friend, noticing my change in attitude, proceeded to comfort me and provide me with the reassurance I required to persevere. I ended up finishing the assignment to a degree I was satisfied, and the friend in question was providing encouragement every step of the way — I truly felt cared for throughout this experience.

I find it is often difficult to reach out for help from the people who are closest to you. Therefore, I feel cared for when friends don't compare me to others or themselves and when they lend an ear to listen to my struggles. This helps to reinforce the idea that everyone's path is unique and that people have the capacity to overcome their struggles with the right support system. Furthermore, in some situations, it can be more helpful to seek help from non-relatives or professionals who may not project the academic expectations or cultural stigmas you are affected by.

I find that sometimes I am worried that I am being a nuisance if I seek out support — that I am bothering the person I reach out to. If an individual makes it known that they are there for me, that they care, it makes me feel as though I am supported and have a system ready to help me when I need it. It's the knowledge that someone else is there that makes me feel supported.
