The Wellness Challenge is officially over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue challenging yourself and your wellbeing!

Dead week is usually when papers, projects, and studying for finals happens all at once. It’s an understatement to say it can be a little stressful. We hope this post can encourage you to step away from the books and screens for a while and make time for yourself.

Stress Relief Tips

-Try to stay away from caffeine. Caffeine can increase cortisol in your body, your stress hormone, and increase overall anxiety.

-Take walks outside as study breaks

-Stay off of your phone when you’re not studying. With everything online, we need to give our brain as many screen breaks as possible.

-Make time for your creative outlet.

-Take a relaxing shower if you are getting too stressed.

-Write down your goals. Why are you here? Why are you studying? Is it going to be okay if you don’t end up with the A? Bringing what you’re doing into perspective can help with motivation and stress.
