Some students are still taking midterms and finals are quickly approaching; therefore, I know a lot of students on campus are stressed! Instead of having a mental breakdown take a minute and try to relieve some of that stress. Here are five of the best ways to relieve some stress!
1. Meditation
Meditation is a great way to relieve stress. A perfect place to meditate on campus is in the gardens, but during the winter months inside the Nott is also a great spot!
2. Yoga
Yoga incorporates meditation and breathing, therefore making it the perfect way to relieve stress. If you want to take an actual yoga class they are offered at the Alumni Gym and at The Hot Yoga Spot in Albany.
3. Laugh
The physical act of laughing actually releases tension. Watch a funny show or hangout with friends to relieve some stress!
4. Workout
Exercise lowers levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Working out doesn’t always have to be in the gym, a nice run outside is good exercise and a great change of scenery to clear your mind.
5. Eat healthy
Eating a poor diet can cause more stress, so eat healthy! A healthy diet can create better physical and emotional wellness.
