    I have been volunteering for an organisation called Hullo it’s an organisation that helps tackle isolation by giving everyone over the 18 a free relaxed conversation.

    Thanks so much for helping people <3

    Make sure you are looking after yourself too @Past User <3

    Revision is important and that kind of productivity can make us feel great but it is also important to make sure you are resting :3

    If you can't sleep, could you listen to relaxing music or watch a favourite film? <3

    It's understandable you can't always sleep the whole night through @Past User :3

    Just make sure your usual sleep hours are spent on taking care of yourself!

    Netflix sounds like a great plan :3

    The revision is not so much unless you are under tight deadlines.

    The revision can come when you would usually timetable it in from! <3

    I hear you @Past User. Just make sure you are balancing your A levels revision and taking care of yourself :)

    I understand that sometimes we feel we need to work around the clock for the best grades. This is especially the case when we are approaching deadlines/exams.

    However, sleep, exercise, rest, and a balanced diet are also important in enabling us to perform at our best and retain information too.

    How is your revision going for you? :3

    Hi @Past User

    I am really glad to hear revision is going well for you :)

    UpLearn sounds like a fabulous study resource! Thanks for sharing it with us

    Talking to yourself can be helpful. I also find writing my thoughts down on paper helps me! <3

    This is especially the case if I can also answer my own thoughts when I have a clear head

    Just make sure you are talking positively to yourself and being kind and patient with yourself :)

    Got up and worked out, even though I felt so tired and depressed. It always makes me feel a little better to move my body :)

    Thank you for sharing @Brookee <3. It can be really tough to find the motivation to work out, especially at this time of the year. How are you feeling today?

    There’s a great article on The Mix called “Can exercise beat anxiety and depression?” with lots of handy tips on how exercise can help your mental health.

    Here's the link: https://themix.org.uk/mental-health/mental-health-treatments/can-exercise-beat-anxiety-and-depression-5832.html

    Let us know how you’re doing and if you have any tips to share for an exercise routine, we’re here for you 😊.

    @HarryIsHere thank you so much for your kindness and support! It means a great deal, I’m feeling much better today, I managed to get out for a walk which was really helpful!

    Thank you for the link to the article! I will definitely give that a read!

    I recently invested in an exercise app called Tone and Sculpt and it’s so empowering and sorts out all the workouts for you and has meal options, 5 different trainers with different styles and a lovely supportive community so that’s been such an amazing help in keeping me motivated to work out! But I also find getting out for a walk, even just 10 minutes is so refreshing and energising, particularly at this time of year when there’s little light!

    I hope you’re doing really well too Harry! Sending you love <3

    Got up in decent time today and managed to have some vague routine to the day :)
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
    I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    Always good @Mike :3

    Instead of letting a broken laptop ruin my day, I showered to feel better and then thought about potential solutions!

    I had my hair washed and got a haircut today. I also got the massive matted part of my hair sorted out.
