We have now reached a part in the semester where we are slowly approaching midterms. Midterms brings a whole new amount of pressure and stress to the school game. So it is important to remember to take the time for yourself. Here are 10 things you can do to give yourself a mental health day.
1. Say NO!
Do not get caught up in saying yes to everything. Sometimes its okay to take the time for yourself and that can start by saying no to others.
2. Find a favorite show.
Sometimes you need to just mindlessly watch something and not think about everything else happening.
3. Find a favorite Song.
For me it has to be anything from Hillsong United. So find your favorite song, album, or band to jam out to when you feel that crazy amount of stress.
4. Find Encouragement.
If its a bible verse, a quote or anything else find the thing that gives you strength to face the challenges ahead.
5. Find a community.
When you are surrounded by friends or family who what to see you succeed that make all the difference in the world.
6. Do a face mask.
This might sound so silly but for me it is probably one of my favorite things to relax.
7. Spend time with friends.
Take the time to make time for people you love. Sometimes that can be the best thing you do for yourself.
8. Be honest with yourself.
To make time for yourself you first have to admit to yourself you need to make the time.
9. Schedule the time.
For me I live by my planner. When you schedule in the time for yourself it is more likely to happen.
10. Have tine by yourself.
sometimes its okay to be alone. I am an extraverted introvert so I need time by myself to recharge.
