Self care suggestions?
Hi guys!
As uni has started back sometimes I find myself stressed or overwhelmed. I have some self care strategies I use. I was hoping people might share theirs 🙂 If any one has small things that they do to help with stress or anxious feelings?
thank you 🙂

Take regular breaks. I think sometimes when we are studying we forget to take breaks. But our brains need a rest. So get up out of your study zone and do anything but think of study. Sometimes I put on a song and just do a bit of crazy dance and then make a tea before I get back into it. 
Hey! What works for me is music, happy music always makes me feel less stressed. Especially when its an upbeat song that I know all the lyrics to and I can either belt it out in my car or in my room when no one is around. If I have the opportunity to have a boogie, I will always take it up no matter how much work I have to do because I know I will be more affective if I am calm.
go for a walk
have a nice warm drink
read your favourite book
watch an episode of your favourite tc show
have a nice bubble bath
do some drawing/colouring in
hope these help 🙂
- taking time out of study to read
- connecting with friends and family
- going on a long walk 🙂
Hope this helps!!
I use colouring in
Or listening to a calming playlist of music for a few minutes
Or painting my nails
Or writing down what I'm feeling, keeping a journal, even if it's only a few lines
Hope this helps!
