4 Simple Ways To De-Stress

It's that time in the semester again... when everything kicks into high gear and you feel like giving up.

Don't.

Instead:

1. Fix your sleeping schedule

Try getting into bed relatively around the same time each night and wake up early even on days when you don't have to, that way you won't waste days sleeping in to too late and you won't stay up trying to sleep on nights you need to go to bed early. I also recommend Melatonin sleep support gummies to help you start getting into bed early. They are less than $10 at Walmart and really work! Staying on sleeping schedule and getting enough sleep is an instant de-stresser.

2. Make your bed up

I'll be honest, I was hesitant to believe making up your bed after you wake up would actually help you feel calmer, but it is so nice to come home to a made up bed after a long day.

3. Take a bath

There's just nothing like a nice relaxing bath. Maybe try out a bath bomb, have a glass of wine and unwind.

4. Stretch before you go to sleep

According to an inspiyr article, stretching before bed and/or stretching each morning helps us learn how to physically let go of daily stress rather than hold on to it.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
