1. Float
Something that I have been looking into is something called Float. These are Sensory Deprivation tanks, they are filled with ten inches of water and 1,000 pounds of Epsom Salt. Awesomely enough we have one just across the river called Float Quad Cities they are currently having a sale right now for the holidays. Typically one 60 min. float is $49 dollars well right now they have a sale for two for $89. This is a great deal. I think this is a great thing to do, it helps with many things, stress and anxiety happen to be one of them. It also will help with sore muscles.
2. Take a break
Go do something fun with your roommates. Things you could do? Go see a movie (I suggest Frozen 2, we get a discount as students so go enjoy some Frozen), go out to a restaurant for an hour and just have some fun. Maybe go to a local park and walk around enjoy the sights.
3. Meditate
Meditation is shown to bring relief to stress, it will also help you become more in-tune with yourself and help with focus. So that when you finally go back to your papers you will be more focused and ready to get back into the paper.
4. Make time to spend with your friends
Laughing has shown to make people happier and in that being with people you enjoy does that as well. It is finals so it can be stressful but just think about the things you could do if you were to take some time for yourself.
5. Music
Music distresses me, currently, I am taking a break from research for a paper due tomorrow, I am writing this while listening to one of my favorite playlists for this type of thing. Ironically, it is from a book playlist from Wattpad. It has 34 songs, very soothing songs. It is called the Sun Child Playlist.
In turn, I hope these can help, I hope you have a great two weeks of finals. A quote from the new Frozen 2 movie, from the song Into the Unknown, “Every day’s a little harder as I feel my power grow, don’t you know there’s part of me that longs to go, into the unknown? Into the unknown, into the unknown”
