5 self-care tips to beat the January blues

January feels about 50 weeks long and uni work isn’t slowing down. Bit rough, right? It's time to show yourself some love. Self-care is all about putting your health and well-being first. You deserve it, bestie.

1. Try yoga

Yoga’s not just for the bendy people. It’s a chill way to escape stress and take a breather. Plus, it’s good for your bod—stronger muscles, fewer injuries, and calm vibes. Why not give it a shot? With 80% Off an annual membership for The Yoga Collective, you can do it in the comfort of your home!

2. Eat better

Self-care can start with what you eat. Swap out the crisps for a banana or go for a Diet Coke instead of a regular. Little changes = big impact. Trust us, your body will thank you.

3. Take a break

Chill. Seriously. Whether it’s a walk, a bath, or just hanging out with your mates, take the downtime you need. If you’re feeling sore or drained, your body’s telling you to rest. Defo listen to it.

4. Get more sleep

Sleep is the MVP of self-care. It’s not just about feeling rested—it’s good for your heart, brain, and mood. Plus, better sleep = sharper focus and more creativity. Win-win.

5. Treat yourself

Buy the flowers. Order the takeaway. Get the new fit. You deserve it. Got through a tough train ride? Nailed that group project? Got a decent grade in an assignment or exam? Make sure you celebrate the wins—big or small. And yeah, everyone deserves a cheeky Franco Manca sometimes.
