With school, work, and the rest of life happening it can get extremely stressful to balance everything at once. So here a few ways I make it work:

1. Go to the gym

If you're interested in exercising and health, then going to the gym is the perfect way to relieve stress. Not only are you getting rid of the large weight on your shoulders, but it's a great way to work towards the health goals you have been putting off.

2. Netflix and Chill

Get in bed, throw your pajamas on, and grab some snacks. But this time, the "chill" part of Netflix and Chill will be chillin' with your laptop. There's nothing better than coming home after a long day of being on your feet and laying down in bed with no responsibilities for the rest of the night, except binge watching an entire series.

3. Take a Spontaneous Trip

Sometimes taking a break from everything and leaving your responsibilities behind to go somewhere where they are not is the best stress reliever. Whether it be a trip down to the beach, a hike with a view at the end, or even an amusement park!

4. Make a Playlist

One of my favorite ways to get away from reality is to listen to music. If you don't already have a go-to playlist, this is the best time to make one. This way, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed with life, you can turn to your favorite music.

Things can get a little stressful sometimes, but it's perfectly normal. When life becomes a little too much, remember these ideas before the crying and breaking down starts, things will get better!
