Hey There 👋 

Welcome to the last Better Yourself Friday of June, and wow, what a month it’s been. 🙌 If you're reading this, take a deep breath. Whether you're done with your last exam or still pushing through those final ones, we want to say this loud and clear: we're proud of you.

June is one of the busiest, most emotionally draining months in the student calendar. Between deadlines, late-night study sessions, and high-pressure exams, it’s easy to go into survival mode. That’s why this week’s theme is all about what comes after the grind, reflection, recharging and reclaiming your energy.

Remember growth doesn’t just happen in the classroom it happens in how you rise to challenges. So the questions you should ask yourself is what are you most proud of this month? Where did you surprise yourself? What habits helped (or didn’t)? Even if this exam season didn’t go perfectly, reflection helps you grow stronger and wiser for the next one. Try jotting down your thoughts in a notebook or voice note, it doesn’t need to be perfect, just honest.

Recharge. Rest is not a reward, rather it is a requirement. You’ve been in productivity mode for weeks, and your body, brain, and soul deserve rest. Real, intentional, guilt-free rest. This means sleep in, watch your comfort show, spend time outside, say “no” to things that drain you and say “yes” to what feels nourishing. ⚠️ Reminder: Resting doesn’t mean you’re lazy, it means you’re smart enough to know when to refuel.

Reclaim. This means taking back your joy. Once your energy starts to return, ease back into activities that spark joy and make you feel like you. Revisit a hobby you paused, take a solo date to your favorite coffee shop, catch up with a friend you haven’t seen in weeks and try something new, just because it feels good.

Even small acts of joy help rebuild your mental strength and remind you that life is more than just passing the next test. 💡You’ve spent weeks showing up for your education, your future, and your goals. Now, it’s time to show up for yourself.

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

Let's Gerrit!

Why Is Sleep Important?

Sleep helps your brain work properly, boosts memory, supports emotional health, and even strengthens your immune system. It keeps your heart stay healthy, balances hormones, and gives your body the downtime it needs to recover.
