Everyday Matters - Healthy Habits for University Life

With the goals of supporting first-year students, increasing their preparedness for college life and the chances of study success, participants in the Everyday Matters programme/users of the Everyday Matters digital badge are encouraged to explore some practical everyday things that they can say and do to support themselves as much as possible during this time of change and establish healthy habits and routines for their university lifestyle, enhancing their successful transition into and through higher education. Informed by relevant research, badge users will explore how they spend their time across work, play, rest and sleep and cultivate positive habits of mind including mindful self-compassion, growth mindset and gratitude. Badge users will learn about brain and body health, and how to create and maintain daily habits and routines that support physical and emotional wellbeing for learning and life.
