al with. To keep myself from losing my mind but still pull good grades, I try to reduce the stress and keep perspective. However, it's very easy to get overwhelmed. Here are some suggestions that would help anyone going into finals season. I like to get a cup of coffee or tea before I sit down for a study session. Finding a comfortable quiet space is very important when it comes to actually getting work done. Public places tend to be best because then you aren't surrounded by the laundry that needs to be done or the TV show that everyone is watching. Study breaks are important as long as they have a specific ending time. For instance, a fitness class, or your own workout routine is a perfect study break. I love my Monday yoga class because I leave feeling energized and relaxed. Another suggestion you may consider, is go out for lunch or cook a meal. Your need to eat is perfect for a study break, because it can get your mind off of school work and allows you to recharge before hitting the books again. If you don't need your computer to study, don't bring it to the library. If you choose to listen to music, make sure it is soft and soothing. Loud, fast music can create anxiety if you aren't careful. Lastly, keep it in perspective. An all-nighter before the test will probably do you more harm than good. If you're feeling too tired to study, maybe your study break should be a 30 minute power nap. Go outside, even if its just for a couple minutes, sunlight does wonders to boost your mood and re-energize you.
