Beat the stress

June is probably one of he hardest months in every student's life. Even though we are extremely tired after the whole year of studying, we still have to face our final exams and the view of upcoming holidays doesn't help. The summer weather makes us daydreaming about sandy beaches, mountains, lakes or simply chilling in the garden with a favorite book that is not obligatory for literature classes. In those days when part of ourselves is chilling somewhere allover the world and the other one still have to learn for tests, it is difficult to keep balance and have a peaceful mind.
So here are some things that work for me. Feel free to share your ways for stress if you have ones!

Exercise. It's the key for every stress/mental problems, because we all know that exercising boost endorphins. It is a huge release for your spine after spending hours sitting at the desk. Whether it's running, gym or yoga, even 15 minutes per day makes a difference.

Spend some time outside and breath the fresh air. I know you probably don't have time for just sitting and staring at the sky, but you can always grab your notes to the park and study there. Great idea is also to combine being outside with physical activities.

Meditate. I know it may sound a little bit too "spiritual", but meditation doesn't have to involve any religious practice. For me it's simply sitting in the silence, breathing really deeply and trying to silence my mind. It is a huge help in calming down yourself.

Eat something nutritious. I believe that what we eat affects how we feel to a large degree. So eat some some fresh fruits or veggies and mix it with nuts. They are great source of valuable unsaturated fatty acids which are very beneficial to our brains.

Talk to someone about something different than studies. Maybe call or meet your friends that you haven't been talked to since a long time. Just try to keep the balance and to not think about exams all the time.

Fingers crossed! We will all pass it!
