Hiii everyone!
I have decided that due to this time in between finishing uni and starting my masters, I would like to launch a blog/website. I am going to be studying 'psychological well-being and mental health' from September so I have decided a well-being blog is what I would like to do - something I am passionate about, but that will also support me with my future studies! I've been brainstorming some ideas today of what I would like to include, will share some of my current ideas here. But I was just wondering, does anybody else have any feedback of what they might like to see/find helpful on a blog like this? I want it to be a place that people can turn to whatever their mood, and feel relaxed, grounded, and like they have had a positive impact when they click off ♡
Some of my current ideas are:
- A calm corner. I want this to be a corner of the blog that people can turn to when they are feeling panicked and would like to calm down. I will include breathing exercises, grounding methods, links to further support, links to bitesize yoga or meditation flows that you can quickly practice on the go, positive quotes etc. I will also include recommendations for more general helpful tools, including wellness book recommendations, podcast recommendations etc.
- A section dedicated to fitness, yoga and meditation. I want to discuss what they are, the psychological benefits of fitness and mindfulness etc, and then include playlists of my favourite flows and workouts and what they are good for etc.
- Feel good recipes, including smoothies, frozen yoghurt, fruity snacks etc
- A section about positive psychology, what it is and sharing the things I learn on my course
- Guest interviews
These are some of my ideas so far! If anybody has any other ideas of what they would find helpful, I would absolutely love to hear them! thank you xx

The only other thing I can think of it to perhaps include some self-care techniques?
i absolutely love the idea of a self care corner, will be sure to include that! thank you X
My mind has gone blank on new ideas but I really like the ones you have already got there, especially the calm corner - I’d find that useful
thank you for the thread link @Shaunie, going to have a read now as that sounds super helpful! i appreciate it x
This is such a lovely idea, it sounds like you've got some fab ideas on how you would like it to be. Great stuff, you can really tell how passionate you are
Maybe something to do with gratitude - this might fit in with the self-care area that was mentioned earlier? I don't really know the psychology behind it but something to do with the power of gratitude lists and how to get started?
wow that is a fab idea!! i will absolutely look into that, thank you!
