Stressmares (not this week, too similar tor relaxation)
Twas' the stressmare before exam week, and all through the school, not a student was sleeping, not even a fool. Stress had haunted and burdened the innocent souls of many students. Over the last century, we have suffered from sleep deprivation, lack of social life, overwhelming expectations, and verbal abuse from parents. These terrible oppressions had pushed many students passed their limits. So today, the ultimate tip post to relieve all stress will be brought to you by Veronika and Angela!
Tips to keep your soul from the Stressmare!!!!
· When studying, keep some fruits or snacks beside you to relieve the anxiety. We all know food is the answer to everything. Just not jumbo-sized Cheeto bags. I know. But you've got to resist that cheesiness.
· Make a little plan and checklist for yourself. What you're going to do, and when you're going to do it. Remember to prioritize! This maps out the all the things you need to do.
· When stressed out on a particular homework, do a little dance around the room, shake it off, and start again. Exercise is a great way to get off some stress.
· Though we all think we are way too cool for sleep, we're not. So don't go to school and brag to your friends how late you slept last night. As soon as you finish studying/homeworking, brush your teeth and go to bed. Without your phone.
· Identify things you think that stress you out. If it’s your math homework, which is obviously will be, then maybe seek help or ways to get rid of that stress or approach it in a calm manner. The more you make it your enemy, the more pain you'll go through doing it. (Random proverb from the authors)
· If you look into our earlier post on relaxation, it gives you tips on how to be the master of chillaxing, and the best way to get away from stress is to take that deep breath and do some yoga, meditation, and pretzel twists
· If you’re so stressed and all the above tips didn't work, the best way is to let it out. Obviously not on your (possibly annoying) siblings, though very tempting. Give that pillow a few upper cuts or that plushie a few powerful punches. Just remember to clear your head to do this, and avoid negative thoughts.
· To relieve stress, you should always be prepared. Being prepared will give you a sense of comfort and confidence when taking tests, and even if you aren't prepared, at least you should think you're prepared.
If you're still going bald after that amazing list, then I'm afraid you've fallen too deep into the clutches of the Stressmare. We will mourn your demise. But otherwise, if you follow this list, we give you 97% guarantee that your life will be stress-free. :)
