Top 10 Best Ways To Relax

Students, like you all, often experience high levels of stress that come from school, social life, and other responsibilities. Therefore, it is important to have ways to relax and take a step back when you are feeling stressed. 

Here are the top 10 best ways to relax:

1. Go outside

Going outside to a park, a forest, or even just your own backyard is a great way to relax. Nature is really important for everyone’s mental health. 

2. Walk

Going on a walk, even for just 10 minutes, can really decrease stress. Other forms of exercise such as running or biking are great as well. 

3. Meditate

Meditation helps you de-stress and find your peace. If you are interested in trying meditation, there are some great resources in the self-care section of this website. 

4. Drink water

Drinking water is often forgotten about, but it is important that everyone is drinking enough water. If you would like, you could carry a water bottle around with you to remind you to drink. 

5. Eat comfort food

Eating food you love or food that makes you happy can help when you are stressed out. 

6. Talk to friends or family

Talking to friends and family that make you feel good inside is a great thing to do when you are stressed out. Whether it is in person or on the phone, talking to people you care about is extremely important. 

7. Journal

Journaling in a notebook, or even on a computer, gets your feelings out on paper and it is a great way to tackle stress. You don’t have to write much, and you can also write about happy things too!

8. Do something you love

Doing something you enjoy such as playing a sport or drawing is also a wonderful way to feel calm. 

9. Listen to music

Listening to music you like is a great way to relax. 

10. Take a bath

Taking a shower or bath, putting on comfortable clothes, and feeling clean are wonderful ways to reset your mind and take a step back.
