World Wellbeing Week<\/span> kicks off on the 24<\/span>th<\/span> of June, and there\u2019s no better time to focus on your own <\/span>wellbeing<\/span> and practice some much-needed self-care! Regardless of whether you\u2019re already in the workforce or still studying, stress, burnout, and general low health have ways of creeping up on you. However, to keep smiles on your dials, the team at Explore Careers has put together a few <\/span>wellness tips and tricks<\/span> that are bound to fend off the winter blues.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n World Wellbeing Week<\/span> is a yearly initiative organised by <\/span>Wellbeing<\/span> World to showcase the various components of <\/span>wellbeing<\/span> and share ideas on how we can keep ourselves healthy! It\u2019s also a time when employers are encouraged to show appreciation for their hard working employees and provide support in the form of <\/span>wellbeing<\/span> initiatives (so it\u2019s about education, self-care <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>fun: how good is that?)\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, that\u2019s not all! Here are a few more reasons as to why World Wellbeing Week is so important:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And much more!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While <\/span>wellbeing<\/span> should be prioritised year-round, <\/span>World Wellbeing<\/span> Week takes place yearly, during the last week of June, meaning that the 2024 iteration will run from the 24<\/span>th<\/span> \u2013 28<\/span>th<\/span> (and we couldn\u2019t be more excited)!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wellbeing can be a tricky term to describe. In short, it\u2019s the combination of our physical and mental health factors, but we can dive a <\/span>lot <\/span><\/i>deeper than that. In fact, there are said to be seven dimensions of wellbeing that we all need to address, including:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While all of these factors might seem a little overwhelming, they all boil down to a few things; happiness, health and satisfaction. As long as you can tick off these three boxes, you\u2019re good to go!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>Mates in Mind<\/span><\/a>, there were 875,000 cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2022\/23. Moreover, mental health issues are thought to account for 49% of all work-related ill-health and 54% of days off. If that doesn\u2019t sell you on the <\/span>importance of wellness<\/span>, we don\u2019t know what will!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even if you aren\u2019t yet a member of the workforce, the same goes for students. Between the pressure to get good grades, keep on top of homework, attend all classes and nurture relationships with friends, students face <\/span>a lot <\/span><\/i>of stress as well.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before we look at some <\/span>wellbeing tips and tricks,<\/span> it\u2019s important to recognise the stressors that negatively affect our <\/span>wellbeing<\/span> so that we can try to minimise them. For students, some key risk factors are:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, if you\u2019re already in the workforce, your stressors might also include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve identified any of these issues as things that affect your own <\/span>wellbeing<\/span>, well done: acknowledging an issue is the first step! The next best action is to share your feelings with someone you trust. Remember, there isn\u2019t anything you have to go through alone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless of what your daily schedule looks like, you\u2019re bound to find some strategies for wellness-improvement in our list below. Don\u2019t forget, you don\u2019t have to implement all of these at once; every small step counts!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re after some wellbeing tips that aren\u2019t work or school-related, try these ones on for size: we think they\u2019re perfect ways to celebrate!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The best part about this option is that it only has to be as difficult as you want it to be!
