Exam stress getting you down? Here’s what you can do
-
Get into a routineTry eating and sleeping at around the same time each day.
-
Get a good night’s sleepThis gives our brain time to recharge and remember what we’ve learnt.
-
Eat a well-balanced dietAvoid junk food (we know that’s not easy, but the sudden burst of energy of a chocolate bar or energy drink goes away quickly and leaves us feeling worn-out).
-
Allow time to restWhy not try some meditation, listen to music or practice some mindfulness activities.
-
Keep focusedIt can be hard, but we don’t want other stuff like friendship worries to distract us.
-
Reward yourselfOnce you achieve your study goals. For example: ‘I’ll study for another hour, then I’ll call a friend or shoot some hoops’.
