How to deal with end of term stress!



 GOLD know it’s that time of year, when you’re put to the test on everything you’ve learnt for the past few months and finishing those final essays. It’s never easy, but it’s important to not to overwork yourself. That’s why we’ve put together a few tips on how to beat the stress and do your best 💪


Eat and sleep well

Whether you’re trying to cram for an exam or finish an assignment it’s tempting to stay up all night in the hope that you’ll end up better for it. In reality though this just isn’t the case! Getting a decent amount of sleep can work wonders for your concentration and you wont supper the next day for it. Eating regularly and healthily is also important when doing work as it powers your brain and also affects your concentration!

Give yourself breaks

Ever work for so long that you can no longer focus? That probably means a break is in order! Whether you take 15 minutes to have a snack or go for a walk, focusing on something else for a while can give your brain a rest so that when you get back to work you feel more refreshed and ready to get back to it.

Think positively

Negative thoughts can have a really detrimental impact on how you do. It’s easy to say ‘think positive!’ but if you don’t believe in what you’re doing and yourself you’re probably not going to do your best. Taking a few moments to reflect and think about the good things can really help.

Exercise

By exercise we don’t mean go and run a marathon, but a short walk or trip to the gym can really help with stress levels. Exercise releases endorphins which help to relax the body and mind and help when you are doing your work or revising.  

Focus on yourself

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of talking to others about how they are doing but this can just leave you feeling behind or like you’re doing something wrong. Try to focus on your own work and remember it’s never a race! Sometimes taking your time can work out a lot better for you!

Breathe

Last but by no means least, remember to breathe. Setting aside a couple of minutes just to focus on your breathing and mindfulness can really help you to relax and concentrate far better on your work.

We hope these tips help you to do the best you can!
