When things get stressful and the world feels like it's a never ending cycle of to do lists. When work seems like all it's doing is piling up, take some few moments to yourself. Just a few breaths, a ten minute jog, or three positive soothing songs can help you get back to a relaxing point in life.

1. Meditation

This is a great way to clear your mind and find your center in the midst of the chaos that can be college life. What I find that works best is to pick out a peaceful place where you feel at ease. Sit or lay down. Then, just let your thoughts flow freely, not attaching to any one of them. Listen to your surroundings and just be in the moment with no expectations. Focus on your breathing if you want, and take long deep breaths.

2. Exercise

This mode of relaxation is great when you have a lot of pent up emotions and feelings. Normally, I usually find a workout app on my phone to use or go for a jog. Breaking a sweat not only makes you feel good, but clears your head from all the thoughts that are attacking.

3. Music

Taking time out to listen to songs that resonate with how you feel is another great way to wind down. You really get in touch with your emotions and can deal with them up front. In addition, it's relaxing to hear pleasing sounds and lyrics. Overall, listening to music will soothe and pacify your mind and body.
