Take a deep breath and count to ten.

It sounds dumb, but it totally works.

Make a list

Writing down the list of things you have will help you better manage your time and your sanity. Crossing out a stressful task feels so good.

Give yourself a break… literally

It’s okay to have a mental block sometimes. When you reach that breaking point, just walk away. Go for a drive, go into another room, just get away from that work. Give yourself a break.

Go outside

Getting a breath of fresh air and soaking up a little sun is an amazing way to relieve stress. You’ll relax faster and go back to work with a better mood.

Prioritize

Make sure to power through assignments that are on tighter deadlines. Focus on the most important work first, then you won’t be stressing a time crunch later.

Take a nap

Do you ever have so much work to do that you just take a nap instead? Mental exhaustion is just as bad as physical exhaustion. Your brain needs to take a break sometimes. Let it.

Eat a healthy snack

While on your little break grab some healthy snacks to help you power through.

Workout

One of the absolute best ways to let out stress is to exert all your physical energy. It wears you out, allows you to physically deal with your anger or stress and it helps you jump-start that spring break bod.

Do something artistic

Put your stress to good use and create something! Paint, play an instrument or even invest in a mindfulness coloring book.

Stay positive

Don’t cause extra stress by thinking about the “what-ifs”. Everything is going to be okay.
