Activities
Breaking up your studying
For me, a lot of stress comes from feeling my study time has gone wasted when I’m not very productive. In order to not waste a bunch of time on one task, taking breaks and learning how to study effectively can help reduce this stress.
Taking a break with meditation
Again, in order to make the most of your studying time, it’s important to reset when you need to to avoid burning out. Check out this list of meditation activities and exercises for when you need to take a break.
