As with any skill, we can always learn new ways of dealing with stress.
Below are some self-care tips to help protect against stress.
Self-care tips
Try these…
Nurture your physical health
Body and mind are connected, so eat regular meals and find a fun form of exercise that suits you and your schedule.
Set aside time
Set aside time to have fun or do something nice for yourself. Positive emotions can help build a buffer against stress.
Enjoy activities
Spend time on an activity you enjoy – whether painting, playing guitar, or Learning a new sport.
Talk to someone
ell a trusted friend or family member about how you’re feeling, or chat online on a support site like Childline or The Mix.
Avoid these…
Overdoing stimulants
Overdoing it on caffeine, alcohol or sugar – they’re a quick fix which can increase stress in the long term.
Overworking
We all need time to unwind so try to build in short, regular breaks while you’re studying, working or revising.
Chasing perfection
It can create unrealistic expectations. It’s not fair to compare yourself, as a whole person, to social media highlights from someone else’s life.
Hiding Feelings
Bottling up your feelings and assuming they will go away – this can make things worse in the long run.
