5 Ways to De-Stress Yourself for Midterm Mayhem
Spring Break is fast approaching, and that means there is still a few more weeks until the dreading midterms that separate us from a well deserved week-long vacation. But not to worry ( or better yet, stress out) Stress can make things more difficult when it comes to trying to study during that 2-3 hour time period as well as emotionally and physically draining your body. This is not the real way to get that “A” on your midterms, so here 5 ways you can de-stress just in time for midterms and also incorporate into your daily lifestyle.
Drink Tea, Not Tears
Drinking a nice warm (or piping hot) cup of tea can be, in my opinion, a great method of relaxation. Brewing your own favorite blend before studying and being able to feel the warmth and flavor throughout your body can be a very satisfying feeling. Flavors like Chamomile, lemon honey, peppermint, are a few very popular blends that are well known for their relaxing effects.
Yoga
Getting into your “zen” around midterms is another great way to let all of your problems fall by the warrior pose. When you loosen up your body and have time to clear your state of mind of all the deadlines and papercuts, you give yourself that inner peace to unwind and regain a more broadened perspectives. Plus, you can so feel better about yourself which makes tackling any obstacles a lot easier even after midterms.
Have a Self Pep Talk
Have a well-needed conversation with yourself. Your academics are important but as important as your health; your sleep, mental health, and even your eating habits- you can’t ace your midterms if you’re not at the top of your game! Letting yourself know that you can get through the long hours of doing that dreaded research paper and completing that practice exam.
Listen to Music
No collegiette would want to sit in a study room or dorm by themselves that is considered to being boring and dreary. Listening to music can help you focus to stay on track and can even take your mind off of the things around you, depending on what you may be listening to. Many playlists on certain apps like Spotify or Pandora can also cater to listening to relaxing music and even instrumentals of songs you may listen to on a daily basis.
