Second Semester is coming to an end pretty soon (so sad I know), and everyone is stressing to get final projects, and essays done. If you don’t want to be stress, here are some ways to relieve some of that unnecessary stress.
1. Meditate
It is a proven fact that taking a few minutes to mediate can relieve half the stress you have in that exact moment. I have tried it before and it worked. I am pretty much stressed out twenty-four seven and meditating every night takes my mind off things.
2. Work out
Another way to decrease your stress is working out. Whether it is yoga, or boxing doing any physical activity can ease that stress. Usually working out can be some sort of a reliever for all different kinds of stress.
3. Plan
One thing that I didn’t know before college that actually using a planner can help plan out your days and assignments. I went from not opening up my one planner to having about three planners (I have a problem). Since I have so many assignments, I get overwhelmed very fast. Therefore, I plan out the days I will do each assignment and a time frame in which I need to get it done by.
4. Go for a walk
If you're stuck in your dorm on that same sentence for more than thirty minutes, that’s a sign you need to leave the room and get some fresh air. Grab a friend and go for a walk.
5. Take Breaks in between
Doing homework three hours straight with no breaks can lead to a breakdown. Take a break every hour for fifteen minutes and follow tip number six.
6. Be Positive
If you think the negative, well it would only make you more stress. Don’t tell yourself you're going to fail, instead think of the positive outcomes and get rid of the negative ones.
