As students, it is important to look after our mental health. Studying can be very stressful. Having to learn new topics. Keeping up with the workload. Handing assignments in on time and sitting exams. All these things can all take their toll on students’ mental health. Then, of course, there is managing the ups and downs of life around study deadlines. Not to mention if you have a health condition you are managing around your studies. But, with the right tools, study stress can be managed.
Recently, I had the honor of standing on that iconic red dot of the TEDx Stage, delivering a talk on mental health, for the Open University’s first-ever TEDx event (no pressure!). Having now had time to come back down to earth, I want to take some time to reflect on this amazing experience. In this blog, I will share the entire process, from first applying to be a TEDx speaker, through the rehearsal process, and a reflection on the delivery of the talk itself.
