We are delighted to be launching our "snack-size self care" project this week with occupational therapy and dietetic students funded by GCU strategy for learning fund. For more info see blog ⬇️ Glasgow Caledonian University SHLS GCU Academic Development & Student Learning @Ahpscot RCOTStudents

Week 1 of snack-size self care and students will be introduced to mindful breathing exercises. Short activity that can be done at home, in library or on the bus as a way of using your breath to calm and centre yourself. Have a great week😊

Week 2 snack-size self care! This week we are introducing students to guided meditation and encouraging them to consider and use this to support their wellbeing. GCU Occupational Therapy @LeonaMcquaid

Week 4 (already!) Snack size self-care for this week focuses on 'silencing your inner critic'. This is a powerful one and emphasises how we should treat ourselves with kindness and compassion as we would others 😊 Glasgow Caledonian University SHLS GCUStudentWellbeing GCU Occupational Therapy GCU OT Society

The snack-size resource for week 6 is a self-compassion break, accepting how you feel and giving yourself the permission to be kind and accepting "May I be kind to myself" 😊. Have a great week everyone!

Weeks 8 & 9 of snack-size self care has focused on time management and setting self-care goals.
