Wellbeing Blog

Welcome to your MCI Wellbeing Blog for September!

With so much going on in our professional and private lives, it can be difficult to be able to focus when it comes to our studies. In fact, according to researchers at Harvard University, we are lost in thought up to 47% of the time.  

Like any other new skill that we try to learn, the key to improving is all about practice, practice practice. The more we practise improving our focusing skills, the better we will become.  

Meditation is a really great way to help improve the way we focus. Keep on reading to understand the benefits of meditation, different ways you can practise meditation, as well as some helpful tips and videos! 

Welcome to your MCI Wellbeing Blog for August!

This month we wanted our wellbeing article to help you with common problems that we all may deal with at some point with regards to our studies, applying for jobs or life in general. These are having positive self-esteem and confidence. There is a difference between the two, however they do also overlap, and both can affect how we approach tasks and situations, which in turn can have an impact on our success.

Here at MCI, we are all about students achieving success, and we are so delighted when we see you succeed after all the effort and hard work we know you put into your courses.

So, what exactly is self-esteem and what is confidence you may ask.

What are creative outlets?

When it comes to creativity, we all enjoy it in some way, shape or form. Whether this involves doodling in a notepad, cooking a new recipe, dressing to express, or simply taking the time to acknowledge our surroundings without modern day distractions, creativity is a vital part of the human experience and has greatly influenced our evolution since we started drawing whacky figures on cave walls 40,000 years ago.

This month we are talking about Blue Spaces!

What are blue spaces?

For years scientists have documented the positive effects of spending time in natural spaces such as parks, woodlands, and nature reserves. These areas, also known as ‘green spaces’, have been proven to hold a variety of benefits that positively impact both health and well-being. However, ‘blue spaces’, which are anywhere near a body of water, potentially hold even more restorative effects for mind, body, and soul.
