Earthlings hello,
Since it is getting to summer also known as exam hell that I would do a quick post on tips to de-stress as we all know that your head goes to mush and is pretty much useless for a while. This post of course isn't just for exam doers, you could be having a stressful time at work or whatever is getting you stressed we shall sort it out.
So as I like to advise before every post, let's get ourselves a cuppa and then continue - why not even add a biscuit to the mix?
1. Sleep
There are two ways in which this could go, you could wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world or you could wake up feeling worse than you did before and just want to hide away from the world. I mean I am not really sure which one would happen but let's just assume it is the first option and then everyone can snooze away happily to Dreamland.
2. New Hobby
Now I am in no way suggesting that you should just hop on a plane to somewhere hot and go diving with sharks or whatever because that would just be running away from your issues and my, my, my, that would never do. But a hobby that can take your mind off the things in life that are stressing you out, even if it is for just a couple of hours, is definitely better than being in constant stress mode. There's so many affordable hobbies out there so just get yourself on the internet and ask Auntie Google.
3. Exercise
Now I know this sounds so cliché and I am not for one minute going to pretend that I have any clue as to what sort of moves will release the stress from wherever in your body but I do know that after you have exercised you are supposed to feel pretty great about yourself. Hey ho, even if that part fails and you are as unfit as I am there is a high possibility that you will be distracted from your stress levels as your body moves in ways you don't believe it should. But in all seriousness, exercising is a great way to get your mind off things even if it is for just a walk somewhere.
4. Socialising
I don't mean just pick your phone up and sending a text to a friend I mean actually leaving the house and meeting your friends and having a good old catch up. I know, leaving the house when you don't need to? How shocking? But sometimes all you need is a catch up with an old friend or a new friend or maybe even a pet to make you feel better and to help you remember that in maybe a years time you won't be stressed and if you are stressed then it is highly unlikely that it will be for the exact same reason.
5. Treat yourself
This is so important, buy yourself that new dress and that new pair of shoes, book a weekend away to a spa, do whatever you want because then you have maybe that new outfit to look forward to wearing out or that holiday to count down to. Look after yourself, you do have to live in your body for several years so you may as well keep it happy.
Oh and always wake up with positive thoughts...
That is all for today dears so I hope you have a fab week and the weather is as pleasant as English weather can be.
