Back to school is an exciting time for students returning to class, but it can also be a stressful, emotional experience as well! Here are some things students (and adults!) can do to help reduce the stress factors brought on by heading back to class. Sleep Sleep is critical to your brain and body functions, and when you sleep well, you feel well! Set a sleep schedule and try to stick to it this year! Breathe If you’re feeling stressed or anxious pause and take some deep breaths. Try inhaling for 4 seconds and then exhaling 8 seconds to help lower your heart rate and calm down. Hobbies Keeping up with a hobby is a great way to refresh, relax and recharge your mood! Whether it’s gardening or making music, don’t forget to make time for yourself! Exercise Exercise is great for all areas of your mental, physical and emotional well-being. Whether it’s a short walk outdoors or an intense gym session give exercise a try and see how it helps!
