You know what's odd? When you are not stressing out about finals. I've been stressed all year long and the one week that I should be overly stressed, I'm not. That's odd. The more I say odd the more I don't think that it is a word. Anyways I only have one final and one more paper. Which isn't bad at all compared to some of my friends. I have no cares in the world right now. Which I probably should. But I'm liking this go with the flow, whatever, attitude. Here are some tips to do when you are stressed that have helped me.
1. Clean. Whenever I am stressed I go nuts and deep clean everything in sight. It's a big stress reliever for me.
2. Sometimes I'll go on pinterest and look at my funny board. The things I have pinned are hilarious and always gives me a good laugh!
3. Write. I write a letter to someone, or write in my journal, or I blog!
4. Don't procrastinate. Now I am the worlds biggest hypocrite. I am one of those people who can't do a project or homework a little at a time, I have to do it all at once. So really that's something I need to work on. It always makes me way more stressed than I need to be.
5. Jam out to your favorite tunes. Recently T-Swift has been my go-to jam artist.
6. Go to the temple. You may not think that you have time, but make time. Quote from a wise friend; "Everyone's busy." You have to make time for what's good. It brings so much peace to!
7. Eat ice cream.
8. Make a list. I probably have ten different lists in my bag of who knows what. But it always seems to help me to make a list and cross things off. Sometimes I'll write dumb things on my list just to cross them out. Like make list. done.
9. Call a friend or family member. Always good to talk it out. Or just talk about nothing!
10. Just breathe. Keep telling yourself that you can do it. It's all going to work out. Even if it's not how you planned. It'll all be ok.
There you have it. My top ten stress relievers. They have worked all semester long. Now I am going to write that paper which is due Sunday. ( notice how I am not procrastinating )
