Whether in person, over the phone or online, take care of your mental health

Because taking care of your health involves much more than simply taking care of your body...

Even if it is not always easy, it is important that you maintain a sense of daily routine:

• Avoid sleeping in on weekdays and set an alarm clock.
• Wash, dress and get ready as if you were going to class.
• Eat as normally and healthily as possible at regular meal times and avoid snacking.
• In the evening, do something you enjoy before going to bed and avoid staying up late into the night.

In short, stay on track!

Alternate resting, eating and working periods with time to relax:

• Make time for your own well-being. Many breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation techniques, yoga routines, etc. can be practiced in small spaces. You will find some of them on the Université Lumière Lyon 2’s website and on the UCLy’s website.
• Stay active. Exercise whenever possible (in accordance with the current regulations). Don’t forget to visit your sports department’s web page. Some schools, such as the École Centrale de Lyon or the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, have prepared free online programs for you! Make the most of them!
• During the day, get up every two hours and walk around your room, house or apartment.
• Spend some time in natural daylight, get some fresh air, even if only through an open window.
• If you are feeling inspired, get creative.

• Seek information from reliable sources.
• For reliable Covid-19 information, simply click here or here.
• Just as you have scheduled specific times for work and rest, set a time in your day (or week) to research the latest information and stick to it.
• To avoid disrupting your sleep, try to avoid the news just before going to bed.

What if you have already tried all of the above, but something is still not quite right? Please remember that healthcare professionals are there to help you.

During this particular period, our member and associate institutions' health services are here to help, now more than ever. A number of healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists, etc.) are available to help you take care of your general health as well as your mental health.
