There are many things in life that can cause stress. From school to work to life in general. Whenever I become stressed, I try to find ways to de-stress. I have compiled a list of things that help me the most when I am feeling stressed out! I hope this can you help you as well!
1. Bullet journal
My favorite thing to do is bullet journal! I am able to de-stress and take the time to get my creative juices flowing!
2. Nap
I absolutely love napping. If I could nap all the time, I would! It definitely helps me de-stress!
3. Write
I'm a journalism major, so writing helps me whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or stressed out.
4. Listen to music
Listening to music is one of my favorite things to do! It definitely helps me get away from everything for a few moments.
5. Take a walk
This is a tricky one because if it's cold, I don't want to take a walk! But this is a great thing to do when it starts warming up!
6. Spend some time with friends
I love my friends and spending time with them always puts me in a better mood!
7. Turn off your phone
There have been times where I have shut my phone off just to get away from everyone and everything. It really does help when you are feeling super stressed and overwhelmed.
8. Make a list
Making lists of things that I need to do, in the order that I need to do them, has always helped me! It's a way to stay organized and not feel so stressed!
9. Stand up and stretch
Standing up and stretching after you've been sitting for a while is always a great way to feel better!
10. Step away from the computer
Sometimes you just have to step away from the computer and take a breather. That's a lot healthier than staying at the computer and stressing out!
Remember: Self-care is more important than anything else.
