5 Ways To Destress In Only 10 Minutes

In This Article:

Life itself is very stressful. On top of daily life, you have friends, work, school, family, or pretty much anything that takes time and it seems like there are not enough hours in the day and you are crunching everything in. In times like this, I have found that it's very important to take some time for yourself. Here are some things you could do to get away from the stress and it won't take up too much precious time.

Listen To Your Favorite Song

You are what you listen to

There is no better feeling than hearing your favorite song and singing and dancing along. No matter how stupid you look you WILL feel good and refreshed afterward.

Draw

coloring book

Grab any kind of coloring book you would like or even take out a pen and paper and draw some doodles. You will be so focused on staying in the lines that you won't even think about how stressed you are!

Read A Book

books

Many people don't like reading, but if you find the right book you will get swept away into a whole different world where you won't even remember the world you are in now!

Watch A Vine Compilation

Vines never fail to make you laugh…even if you don't want to you will.

Go For A Walk

Going for a walk will help you clear your head and do not have your face in your phone. There is so much of the world around you to see, so you should go see it.

Every single one of these things will only take you 10 minutes max and they really do help take some stress off your life, allowing you to relax.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
