Sometimes, we all need a break. No matter how many things you have to get done, you should always give yourself a break. During your relaxation time away from studying, do something that you love! Invest your time in something that makes you happy. My favorite thing to do when I’m on a study break is to watch an episode of my favorite television show, but some other things that I invest in that I recommend is painting, going to the gym, cooking, cleaning, or writing in a journal. I always go to the gym before I study or do homework. It is one of the best ways of relieving stress and boosts memory retention as well as the cognitive functions in the brain, and keeping a journal also has a lot of positive outcomes when it comes to relieving stress. An important activity that I learned is called flow journaling, and the point of it is to just let your mind wander. During this activity, you start to let anything that is on your mind flow onto the paper, and the only rule is that you cannot erase anything because the point it to just let your mind run. After you write one page, you will feel a sense of clearness in your mind, which will result in more efficient studying. Taking breaks like this while studying can help remind us that everything is going to be okay!
