- What is stress?
Stress is a natural occurrence—it happens to all of us. There are two types of stress which bring about different symptoms. One is ‘eustress’, also known as ‘beneficial stress’, which can serve as motivation to continue working. The other is ‘distress’ and this is the negative kind of stress. We should worry about distress and try to keep it at bay, as it can affect you emotionally and physically, and may also negatively impact your academic performance. Even some having thoughts of self-harm. Fortunately, distress can be controlled.
- Take A Long Breathe
Breathing techniques are one of the quickest and easiest ways to relieve tension in the body and calm the mind. By taking deliberately deep, slow breaths the body undergoes a relaxation response: the heart rate slows, muscles relax and blood pressure drops. Try five minutes of abdominal breathing (focusing on filling the air in the stomach area) or 7:7:7 breathing: breathe in for a count of seven, hold your breath for seven seconds, breath out for seven seconds.
Stretching the body will also help relieve muscle tension, increase circulation and focus your brain. Enroll in a gentle yoga class for a guided stretching session, then practice the techniques at home. It’s important to take a break from sitting at your desk. Not only will it keep you relaxed and alert, it’ll help you sleep better, too – all of which leads to more effective studying and exam performance.
- Exercise Regularly
Exercise is not just about aerobic capacity and muscle size. Sure, exercise can improve your physical health and your physique, trim your waistline, improve your sex life, and even add years to your life. But that’s not what motivates most people to stay active.
People who exercise regularly tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives. And it’s also a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges.
- Meditate
Meditation has been shown to offer many benefits. Although it’s well known as a technique to reduce stress and anxiety, research shows that it may also help enhance your mood, promote healthy sleep patterns, and boost cognitive skills.
Meditation is the habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. The popularity of meditation is increasing as more people discover its many health benefits.

Moreover, People also use the practice to develop other beneficial habits and feelings, such as a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, healthy sleep patterns, and even increased pain tolerance.
- Make A Time Table
A study plan isn’t the only timetable. A study plan is more comprehensive than timetable because it defines a methodology to deal with the preparation, planning, and problems faced in each subject by an individual. A goal should be set, items should be prioritized and an effective study plan should be drawn.
- Break Your Bad Habits
Everyone has habits, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with them. Some are pretty useful — maybe you lay out your clothes for work the night before or automatically turn off the lights when you leave a room. But other habits, such as biting your nails, drinking caffeine, go to bed too late in the day, or hitting snooze too many times, might not be so beneficial. Breaking unwanted habits can be difficult, especially if you’ve been engaging in them for a long time. But understanding how habits form in the first place can ease the process.
