3 Ways To Help You De-Stress

Exams are stressful. Assignments are stressful. School is just very stressful! We can all agree that we get very tired and stressed during exam weeks. But there are so many ways to avoid this stress or at least minimise it. Here are some of my favourite quick ways to de-stress:

Disclaimer: It's different for everyone, you just have to find what's best for you. Also if you feel                extremely stressed, go to a councillor, don’t try to fix on your own.

  1. Cooking
This way to destress is so great because you get to eat the food you make while studying after cooking. Although choose a recipe that is simple and won't take too long. This is one of my favourites:

Ingredients
500g dried apricots, chopped
395g can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 cups shredded coconut
Extra coconut, for rolling

Method
Combine all ingredients except the extra coconut. Wet hands and roll into small balls, then coat in extra coconut. Refrigerate.

  1. Walking
Going for a walk can help clear your mind and help you think more clearly. Also when you walk you release endorphins which makes you feel happier.

  1. Music
Just go sit outside somewhere (perhaps in a park or green space) and put in your earphones and listen to some of your favourite music. Some of my favourite artists to listen to when I feel stressed is:

  • Christina Perri
  • Adele
  • Sam Smith
  • Ella Henderson
  • Ruth B
