This week is somehow stressful for everyone. Everything is happening at once. There are elections, the SAT, projects, tests, Sadie’s, sports games. Everyone’s schedule tensions are rising and stress levels are reaching boiling points. It is important in a time like this to take deep breaths and stay organized. Here are some simple tricks to staying level-headed when you want to break down with stress:
1. Punch a pillow (avoid people; this is frowned upon)
2. Get enough sleep
3. Cut down on distractions
4. Drink decaffeinated tea
5. Close your eyes and roll them up; this calms you as well as gets you focused
6. Go for a quick run or do some other form of cardio to keep your blood pumping
7. Take a few minutes before you start something to breathe and make yourself comfortable
8. Schedule out your time
9. Eat slowly
10. Eat healthy and avoid sugar and caffeine
11. Find an environment that helps you focus
Stress is temporary and you have to manage it somehow, but remember: it isn’t permanent and relaxing moments are in your future. Good luck.
