It is 3 weeks before finals and there are a whirlwind of emotions that include stress, anger, sadness and the hope that you'll be able to make it to the end of the semester in one piece.
Here are some fool-proof activities to do to help de-stress and to have a little more of a bearable last three weeks of the semester:
1. Listen To Music
Listening to music has such a good effect on your brain. It has the power to change your thinking and what you are feeling, at any given moment. Music can affect you and can decrease your stress.
Here is a playlist of stress-reducing music for some inspiration.
2. Talk To A Friend
Your friends have significant healing powers. Just to spend time with them and ranting to them about your day and what you are going through is very therapeutic. Seeing your friend and spending time with them will help you de-stress much faster.
3. Make A List Of Your Goals
Your goals are very important. It is even more important to write them down and hang them somewhere you can see them everyday. Being able to see your goals gives you more motivation to work towards and achieve them. Writing your goals down helps you start to make a plan on how to achieve those goals.
4. Scream Into Your Pillow
Sometimes screaming is the best way to get your stress out. Grab your favorite pillow, take a deep breath and scream out all of your stress.
5. Eat Your Favorite Food
Food is the way to the heart. Eat your favorite food to your heart's content. A full tummy equals a happy brain.
6. Treat Your Self
Treat yourself! Either do it on your own or get a few friends together and wear some face masks, put some cucumbers on your eyes or any type of routine that helps you relax and feel refreshed.
7. Take A Shower
Showers are another way to feel refreshed and give your brain a quick break. Taking a nice cold or hot shower will help you wash away your stress.
8. Have A Mini Dance Party
Mini dance parties are fun little breaks you can take, either by yourself or with some friends. Turn off the lights, turn up the music and dance your stress off. Play exciting dance music that makes you move your body and shake that stress off.
Here is a playlist that will help you shake the stress away
Go forth and do well on your finals! You can do it, I believe in you!
