After I finish an exam, I isolate myself from my books and spend the rest of the day practicing self care (If I don't have any other assignments due that day). I watch Tik Toks, Youtube, Netflix, and I do my skincare to destress my body. I like to meet up with friends just to distract my myself. It helps a lot.

Something I've recently started doing is journaling (at first I hated it bc I thought it was so corny and a lot of work), and honestly it's really fun with colorful markers and pens. It tends to help me put all my thoughts into words and actually make sense out of them lol

*I learned these tips from therapy*
1. Slow breathing: Inhale through nose and hold it in for 5 seconds and then out through your mouth for 7 seconds (until you feel like you lungs are empty)
2. Distractions: Play a game, fidget toy, listen to music, etc
3. Body Temp: Cool down your body by taking a cold shower, ice cube on skin, splashing cold water on your face
4. Intense Exercise: Running, pushups, jumping jacks (any fast and quick movement)

It helps me to set small goals for me to do throughout the day so I can have the satisfaction of crossing them out and feeling accomplished (I even make goals for really small things such as taking a shower and taking the food from my room). It helps me feel like I did something productive and relevant to my day!!
