It\u2019s easy to forget that looking after your wellbeing is just as important as nailing your next assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news? We\u2019ve got you covered. There are some fantastic on-campus and online activities that are designed to help you relax, connect with others and take care of your mental and physical health. Here are five activities to check out if you need a break or want to enhance your wellbeing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Attend a Lunchtime Life Skills Webinar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You know the saying, \u2018prevention is better than cure\u2019? Well, that\u2019s exactly what our <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/students\/personal-support\/counselling-wellbeing\/workshops\/\">Lunchtime Life Skills webinar series<\/a><\/em> is all about. These free online sessions, running until 9 October, are designed to offer practical tips and strategies to navigate the typical challenges of university life. Whether it&#8217;s managing stress, improving study-life balance, or just getting some solid life advice, these webinars have you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? You don\u2019t even have to catch them live. If you register, you\u2019ll receive a recorded copy so you can watch it whenever suits your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Chill out with your friends at a Barefoot Lunch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/events\/barefoot-lunch-2024\/\">Barefoot Lunches<\/a><\/em> are the perfect remedy to that mid-semester plateau. Throughout the semester on select Thursdays, you can ditch your shoes, bring along your lunch (or grab a bite from a food truck), and settle into some cozy cushions on the lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s more than just a lunch break; it\u2019s an opportunity to unwind and reconnect with friends or meet new ones. If you\u2019ve been cooped up in the library or just need to de-stress, grab a mate and head down for some sun, live music, games and chill vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Drop by the Comfort Corner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling like you need a chat or a break from the solo study grind? The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/events\/the-comfort-corner-2\/\">Comfort Corner<\/a><\/em> is your go-to spot. Hosted in the library (Level 4 Room 434b), this is a weekly, student-led wellbeing session where you can drop in for a casual conversation with your peers or just take a breather. Whether you\u2019re up for some social games or simply want to relax and chat with a student mentor, you\u2019ll find something to suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running on Thursdays and Fridays from 12pm to 2pm, this is a great way to make new connections and feel more grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.
