***Lockdown tip day 1: Set some lockdown goals***

What do you wish to work on over the next 6 weeks? Pick 3 goals to give you some purpose.

Every school day, I am going to post a small well-being idea to support teachers and students through lockdown. Feel free to share! pic.twitter.com/wuWRlWmHgn

*Lockdown tip day 2: Get up & get out*

It's dark and grim out there, but fresh air will do you some good.

A quick walk first thing will not only wake you up, but also enhance your creativity and productivity. Consider a walk at lunch or in the eve.

*Lockdown tip day 3: phones away!*

Phones are slowly reducing our attention span and narrowing/shortening our focus.

Be more present at 'virtual' work and school by putting your phone in another room, disabling certain apps and turning off notifications.

Give it a go. pic.twitter.com/iSjBKOtRZ9

***Lockdown tip day 4: Check in with people***

Pick up the phone and get calling friends and family. On the weekend, write a list of people you would like to call and be present in that conversation.

Rekindle some old friendships and consider those on their own.

Happy Friday! pic.twitter.com/G0J3JEKZKY

*Lockdown tip day 5 - habit formation*

Get into good habits. The @B_I_Tweets have a great EAST framework to help you. Make your decision;

1. Easy - reduce friction.
2. Attractive - clear benefits.
3. Social - do it with someone.
4. Timely - prompts/cues.

Enjoy the week. pic.twitter.com/RcxSpuen1z

*Lockdown tip day 6: Suffering is part of life*

To some this may seem bleak, but there is power in accepting that life isn't always full of pleasure.

To paraphrase the work of Victor Frankl, life is a series of questions and problems and we need to find answers to them. pic.twitter.com/F1OdQvj5Nk

*Lockdown tip day 7: movement*

Studies are showing that virtual learning is leading to a rise in sedentary behaviour.

Try and move every hour. Going for a long run and sitting down the rest of the day doesn't solve the problem.

Ask students to get up and move between lessons! pic.twitter.com/490NRL2KwY
