Stress is something I and many college students struggle with on a day to day basis. Stress has been proven to lead to many other health issues and nobody needs that. So, here are some tips and tricks to decrease your stress levels in 2020.
1. Bathe
I know it might sound weird but taking a bath can be a great way to relieve tension and stress around the body. Sadly in college, a bathtub isn’t always an option but a hot shower should do the job. A nice warm bubble bath is a great way to take your mind of things that might be bothering you.
2. Listen to soothing music
3. Make a to-do list
Planning out your day and schedule can be a great way to decrease stress on various issues in school most specifically do date and such. Having a to-do list is also a great way to prevent forgetting due date and to be adequately prepared for exams.
4. Have a treat
Treat yourself, you deserve a break. Personally I enjoy a nice bowl of ice cream when I fell stress or overwhelmed on an issue.
5. Don’t let it get to you
Stress can encourage negative thoughts that have no place in your life. Try to be as positive as you can, and remember this trial cant and won’t last forever.
6. Switch it up/ take a break
Sometimes to decrease your stress you need to stop what you’re doing. Whether that is working out or painting a picture, taking your mind off of things works wonders on reducing your stress levels.
