Different things make different people stressed and stress affects each of us differently.<\/p>\n
Here are some of our very own tried and tested tips to relieve your stress…<\/p>\n
\n- Reduce your caffeine intake: coffee, tea, energy drinks and even chocolate contain caffeine. As it is a stimulant it can make stress worse so try to limit your intake of caffeine or perhaps you could try herbal tea instead?<\/li>\n
- Eat a well-balanced diet: at the time (and especially on a student budget) takeaways can feel like a great solution but eating a nice balanced diet really helps to reduce the symptoms of stress – even the time it takes to cook a meal helps to take your mind off things that may be worrying about you. Try experimenting with funky recipes! Gordon Ramsey eat your heart out!<\/li>\n
- Take regular exercise: even just a late night walk while listening to your ipod can do wonders for your mood and help you to clear your head and organise your thoughts.<\/li>\n
- Get a good nights sleep: as tempting as it may be to stay up and watch just one more episode of Game of Thrones, a good nights sleep will make you feel refreshed and ready to face the world in the morning!<\/li>\n
- Do something for yourself every day: it’s important to look after number one so make sure you do at least one thing every day that you love to do e.g read a book, watch a film, toboggan down the stairs on your duvet – whatever you fancy!<\/li>\n
- Try some relaxation techniques<\/li>\n
- Talk to someone: a problem shared is a problem halved! Why not come along to our support group? You can share your worries with us and we can help you to think of ways to beat the stress!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
