Take a deep breath and count to ten.
It sounds dumb, but it totally works.
Make a list
Writing down the list of things you have will help you better manage your time and your sanity. Crossing out a stressful task feels so good.
Give yourself a break… literally
It’s okay to have a mental block sometimes. When you reach that breaking point, just walk away. Go for a drive, go into another room, just get away from that work. Give yourself a break.
Go outside
Getting a breath of fresh air and soaking up a little sun is an amazing way to relieve stress. You’ll relax faster and go back to work with a better mood.
Prioritize
Make sure to power through assignments that are on tighter deadlines. Focus on the most important work first, then you won’t be stressing a time crunch later.
Take a nap
Do you ever have so much work to do that you just take a nap instead? Mental exhaustion is just as bad as physical exhaustion. Your brain needs to take a break sometimes. Let it.
Eat a healthy snack
While on your little break grab some healthy snacks to help you power through.
Workout
One of the absolute best ways to let out stress is to exert all your physical energy. It wears you out, allows you to physically deal with your anger or stress and it helps you jump-start that spring break bod.
Do something artistic
Put your stress to good use and create something! Paint, play an instrument or even invest in a mindfulness coloring book.
Stay positive
Don’t cause extra stress by thinking about the “what-ifs”. Everything is going to be okay.
