Taking a break and being kind to yourself is important. It’s okay to get grades lower than an A.
- Are you taking time to get enough sleep?
- Are you able to sleep because you're getting enough exercise? 1/2 hour of fresh air and a walk each day can work wonders for helping your body and mind relax.
- Walking to class instead of taking a shuttle, for example, can add important physical activity that can help your relax mentally; the physical exercise creates the natural chemicals that relieves anxiety and heightens moods. Sunshine helps raise moods.
- Listening to a funny podcast can also help, while you're walking or jogging.
Mostly though take time for self-care. Create a routine of making yourself feel good each day. That will help the anxiety and depression.
