Tips for students to manage stress during finals w Tips for students to manage stress during finals week ➕Exercise - releases endorphins, relieves stress, and gives you a chance to socialize ➕Eat Well - mindlessly munching might leave you tired. Instead reach for something light and nutritious like a salad or smoothie. This will also improve concentration and memory ➕Stay Hydrated - keeps headaches at bay and improves energy levels ➕Breathe - when you feel like you are tensing up, breathe for four counts, hold it for four counts, and exhale for four counts. ➕Sleep - pulling an all-nighter is not healthy! Sleep helps your brain retain the information you have been studying and gives you energy to stay focused ➕Take Breaks - give your brain a chance to absorb the information you have been studying. Give yourself a chance to decompress and watch a quick episode of Modern Family or The Office. ➕Study Space - find a peaceful environment to help your concentration like the library or quiet coffee shop. ➕Prioritize and Plan - use study guides, ask your teacher for tips, allocate time to focus on the material for each exam ➕Help - whether it’s your parent, teacher, school social worker, or friend. Your people want to see you succeed - don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you need a little extra support, our anonymous Text-A-Tip service is always available to you. Simply text -1844-823-5323 to be connected. ✨Always remember to be kind to yourself. Set realistic goals and find healthy coping skills to help you manage stress. Lastly, reward yourself because finals are tough but you will make it through!✨
As we get back to school this new year, encourage As we get back to school this new year, encourage your teen to have a consistent morning routine that can increase their energy, productivity, and positivity -- leading to improved mental health. Have them begin each morning at the same time with a nutritious breakfast, natural light, some gentle stretching/exercise, and a proactive attitude to get things off to a balanced start. Why the Golden Retriever? We can't think anything cuter than a Golden waking up and about to do his morning stretches!
