I know that it can be difficult to find time to take care
during the school week with deadlines and work to weigh you down AND it’s
important to make time so that your mental health doesn’t take too large of a
hit.
Does your school have a counselling service?
It can be helpful to have someone to talk to with an unbiased side. Friends can
help too however they might have enough on their plate right now. Don’t fret!
It’s okay to not be okay.
Here are some examples
of things that help me to self care:
·
Journaling (both writing and art)
·
Taking a shower/bath
·
Eating a hot meal
·
Call a friend or family member
·
Meditation
·
Read a book leisurely!
Give yourself a pat on the back for the small victories of
your everyday life during this time! Taking showers and going out to school
take a lot of energy and I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit for
those things. Keep your chin up! It does get easier.
Winter break is right around the corner AND we still have to
make it through exams season.
This is amazing, what a great topic to chose, very relatable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tatiana. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you can incorporate some self-care into your exam study schedule!
DeleteIt's easy to be defeated by the nasty weather and stressful exams. I'll take a step back and enjoy something simple. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this so much because it's so real, the stress is so real, and sometimes you forget to take care of yourself. I appreciate this, these are some really great ideas. Very much appreciated. I also find that me taking the time to do pedicures and manicures are a big help.
