I know that I've been really stressed out lately. It seems we're at that time of year when midterms are being given, papers are due and people are more on edge. Here are some quick de-stress tips that work for me.
1. Take a nap. Research shows that either a 20 minute nap or a 90 minute nap will make you feel refreshed and ready to go. Anything in-between could leave you feeling even more tired, since you would be waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle.
2. Listen to music. Anything that calms you down or just takes your mind off whatever you have to do usually helps a lot.
3. Make a list of what you have to do. Writing everything down can help you see what all you need to do and can help you prioritize.
4. Exercise! A good sweat can help your body relax. Focus all your mind power on the workout so you're not worrying about all that you have to do. You'll feel loads better afterwards.
5. Pace yourself. Trying to do everything in one night is a surefire way to not really get anything done. Take your work one assignment at a time and reward yourself when you're done, like with 10 minutes of free time or something.
There are lots of stress tips and our lord Google can help you find them. These are just some of my favorites.
As a blogger, I feel it is my duty to give you a video to watch to get your mind off whatever is bothering you. Here's a new favorite of mine:
Hilarious. And who doesn't love Beauty and the Beast?
