As the end of the semester winds down, the stress starts to build up. Tests, projects, homework and of course all of your finals pile up. At this point, you are stressed and need an outlet. Below are a few ways to relieve this stress.
1. Go Outside
Being outside is a great way to lighten your mood and take a brain break from your work. Getting your daily dose of vitamin D can really make a difference. When you've freshened up your spirit, go back inside and try to get back into the swing of finishing some work up.
2. Listen to Music
Being outside is a great way to lighten your mood and take a brain break from your work. Getting your daily dose of vitamin D can really make a difference. When you've freshened up your spirit, go back inside and try to get back into the swing of finishing some work up.
3. Hang Out with Friends
Taking a break from your vigorous studies can sometimes make it much easier to finish your work when you get back. If you really can't step away from you're work, bring it with you. Studying with friends or near them can help calm your nerves and may just be your best resources.
4. Clean Up
Do some laundry, pick up, light a candle. These are some simple ways to improve the atmosphere around you while you study. Being in a clean and comfortable environment may even have you work faster to get your work done.
5. Go to the Gym
Going to the gym can help you relax and free your mind from your work. Working out releases a chemical in your brain called endorphins. These endorphins will help you feel better about the current situation you are in, buried under your work.
The list doesn't end there, everyone is different and needs their own way of destressing. It is important to remember that it is healthy to take a break if you are feeling overwhelmed with your work. Taking a break will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your next obstacle.
