Hey There 👋 

Welcome to the first Better Yourself Friday of June! 🌼 This month is a big one, with exams in full swing and pressure piling up, we know the days can feel long and overwhelming. Before anything else, we want you to pause, take a breath, and hear this:

👉 You are doing better than you think.
Whether you’re flying through revision or feeling stuck in the middle, your effort counts. Your growth matters. And we’re rooting for you. 💪💖

Life doesn’t always follow a straight line, especially during student life. One moment, you’re studying. The next, you’re balancing personal challenges, unclear next steps, or unexpected change. The ability to adapt and stay grounded is one of the most powerful skills you can build. This week, we are helping you develop that inner strength through mindset, routines, and self-awareness.

Step one, reframe the change. 🌱 Not all change is bad change. Transitions often bring growth, even if they come with uncertainty. When something shifts, ask yourself:

Step two, find power in structure. 🧭 During exams or chaotic life moments, it’s easy to feel like everything is spinning. Anchor yourself with a flexible routine, not a rigid schedule, but touchpoints throughout the day that help you feel in control. E.g. Morning check-in’s with yourself, 25-minute study blocks with breaks and a set “wind-down” time before bed.

Step three, Speak Your Stress. 🗣️ Naming what you feel reduces its weight. Whether you journal, voice-note, or chat with a friend, give your emotions a place to land. You’ve already made it through so much this year. This is just another part of your journey. So, even if you feel overwhelmed or uncertain, know this; You are growing through what you're going through. And that, in itself, is powerful.

📣 Wishing You All the Best This Exam Season!

Stay hydrated, take intentional breaks, and remember, rest is productive too. You’ve got this, and we can’t wait to celebrate your progress on the other side. 🎓📚

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday

Let's Gerrit!

Even small, positive changes in your daily schedule can lead to meaningful improvements in your mental health.
