Self-care tips for graduate students for a successful future
Self-care tips for students
When you leave your home for an abroad destination, no one is there to take care of you. And that’s why self-care is important. As self-care is different from one individual to another, there is no particular way to approach it. Here are 9 self-care tips for graduate students. Whatever makes you feel upright, try it out.
Self-reflect
Take a moment to reflect on memories. One way in which you can do so is by journaling. Journaling is quite important and it can bring a positive change in your life. Other ways to self-reflect comprise setting small goals for the future. You can be creative with how you like to proceed with this tip.
Personal care
When you are stressed or tired, it's time to take good care of yourself. Practices of personal care can help you relieve some stress. You can do your nails, get a warm bath, or indulge in your favorite TV show or movie. Any activity, which is related to personal care, needs not to be grand. As long as they make you happy and warm, they are worth trying.
Sound sleep
Sleep is one of the most important parts of self-care. When we are young, we tend to avoid sleep. When you wake up after a good night’s sleep, you feel fresh. It might be tempting to stay up all night, but after a sound sleep, your body will thank you. Read a book or indulge in any hobby right before bedtime. This will help you sleep. You can even listen to podcasts and you will feel sleepy. Besides, you will get to learn something new.
Communicate
In moments of uncertainty or when you are trying to navigate through a new environment, connect with your loved ones. Speaking to people you can trust and confide in is important. You can schedule daily or weekly phone calls with your family, friends, or other loved ones. This will help you glide into the new environment easily.
Exercise
Exercise is very important for your body and mind. If you are feeling tired and unmotivated, you can simply take a walk in the neighborhood. However, if you have a fixed routine then it will be great for you. You can follow YouTube for exercise tips and perform exercises in your student accommodation Newcastle. Recreation activities such as yoga, mat pilates, barre, etc. are really helpful.
Ask for help
As you are new to Newcastle, ask for help whenever necessary. There are people at all times who can help and support you in times of need. If you are comfortable, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your university. You can access many other services online. Go through your university website for more help.
Eat well
What you eat matters. When you eat healthily, your body will be grateful. Eat healthy food. Include more veggies, fruits, eggs, milk, and other important food items in your diet. As your mother is not around to help, take care of your food. Meal prep is key to eating healthy. For breakfast, you can eat bread and egg, fruits, dry fruits, muesli and milk, oats and berries, etc. These are easy to make and help you stay full in the morning. You have to look for a simpler menu for lunch and dinner.
Clean/organize
De-clutter your home can help you stay calm. Cleaning helps a lot with stress. Having a tidy space help you feel great. Feel free to contribute the things you no longer want to nonprofit organizations and other places. Plastic bags, bottles, etc. need to be thrown in the dustbin. All these habits can help you feel good about yourself.
Embrace and let go
Let go of what cannot be changed. When looking for furnished student apartments, you can ensure all the terms and conditions are as per your preference. But, you cannot be sure about what’s in the future. Don’t force yourself into doing something which you are not content with. Be patient and understanding with yourself. Embrace what cannot be changed.
Wrapping Up
There are different ways to self-care. You just need to find yours to feel good. When you are abroad, don’t feel lonely. You always have your parents, siblings, and friends around. Just call them and feel good at low times.

My observation
10 sensible ways to know the genuine minds of people you met for the first time; When we are meeting someone for the first time, we are burdened with information. It can be difficult to know what kind of person they are. That’s why it’s important to communicate with a clear understanding. According to experts, 55% of what we convey comes from body language, 38% from the tone of voice, and only 7% from what we actually say. This means that when we meet someone for the first time, we have to take into account these three factors, in addition to what a person’s appearance may suggest. So, if you want to have a good understanding of someone’s personality when you first meet them, pay attention to the following clues—starting from the head down! Number 1: Eye Contact They often say that the eyes give light to the soul. The key to knowing which kind of eye contact someone is giving you is to consider the context. For instance, if a person steadily gazes at you, it could mean there’s an interest. On the other hand, when you look into someone's eye and he can’t look back at you, it’s a sign that he is either nervous or he has something else in mind,if you’re talking with someone whose look makes you uncomfortable, especially if he's steady and not blinking, something is definitely wrong, Number 2: Eyebrows: If you want to see how comfortable a person is, take a look at their eyebrows! There are three main emotions that make one's eyebrows go up: these are surprise, worry, and fear. Always raise your eyebrows when you’re having a conversation with a friend. An uncomfortable conversation can cause fear, worry, and surprise looks. Number 4:one can smile when it comes to smiling, the mouth can lie, but the eyes can’t. Genuine smiles reach the eyes, People often smile to hide what they’re so to know if a smile is genuine, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something! Number 5: Number Side Glance People who are warm and open to meeting you will have their bodies facing you, and they will look you in the eye. On the flip side, if you’ve just met someone and they immediately glance away to the side, this is a subconscious body language sign that means they are looking for an escape. Number 6:Frequent nodding Nodding is usually a sign that someone agrees with you. But When you’re telling someone something and they nod excessively, this means that they are worried about what you think of them or that you doubt their ability to follow your instructions. On the other hand, frequent nodding could also be unconscious gestures that are cues for the other person to get a move on, just like when a person keeps looking at their watch or touches their car keys. Number 7:Posture How someone carries themselves can give you some indications about their self-confidence. For example, if someone is walking upright with their shoulders back and looking straight, that gives an indication that they feel good about themselves and have confidence. However, if someone is slouching over and looking at the ground when they walk, that gives a much different impression. It may not necessarily mean that they have low self-esteem, but that’s the message it gives Number 8:Rubbing hands It is believed that the hands broadcast what the head is thinking. When a person is rubbing their hands together, it generally means that they have a positive feeling about something. People usually do this when they are hopeful about something good coming up in the future and they’re excited about it. Number 9:Handshake You can tell a lot from a person’s handshake. Soft and flabby, and they are likely to be submissive or a pushover. They are too hard and crushing, and they are possibly domineering types. The length of time is also important. Too long, and it’s weird, but too short could indicate some form of conflict. It’s possible that the person does not want to make a deep connection with you. But it could also mean that they don’t have much time. Number 10: Leaning In or Away If a person leans in towards you, it’s a clear indication that they are interested in you. What you might not know is that it’s also a sign of respect. When people come closer and lean in toward you during a conversation, it shows that they want to confide in you. It makes you feel trustworthy and valued. If someone leans back, however, they show that they are tired of the conversation, or perhaps they feel uncomfortable for some reason. . Number 11: Crossed Arms and Legs Have you ever had a conversation with someone who crossed their arms or legs while you were talking to them? If you’re on a first date or if you’re trying to pitch someone a new idea, it’s not a good sign. Crossed arms and legs are physical barriers that suggest the other person is not open to what you’re saying. Even if they’re smiling and engaged in a pleasant conversation, their body language tells the story. Psychologically, crossed legs or arms signal that a person is mentally, emotionally, and physically blocked off. On the same note, the direction of someone’s feet is also quite revealing. A person who likes you will have both feet facing in your direction. However, if their feet shift towards the door, it means they’ve had enough and want to leave. Number 16: Shoes: A person’s shoes can tell you a lot about their personality. Apparently, we all make judgements about people’s shoes, but studies show that they are pretty accurate. Nervous people will have new or very clean shoes. Amiable types will wear practical shoes. Calm people have an affinity for uncomfortable shoes. And aggressive people wear ankle boots. Just take a look at your own shoes. Does your personality type fit in with them? Number 17: Overall Appearance How someone dresses and presents themselves can say volumes about them. If the person has their hair in place, their clothing pressed, and they show attention to style, they may be very detail-oriented. Someone with a more casual wardrobe or “bed head” might be creative or just mercy and many more.with this little tips you will be able to detect someone around you. Thanks for reading and remain blessed.
