Hello everyone! I am so sorry for the lack of posts and content from me for the past few months. Unfortunately, it's highly likely that my blog content will stay the same until the end of June. I will try my best to pop up occasionally but exams and revision has taken a number 1 priority.
Running along the theme of exams is the issue of coping with exam stress. I get extremely nervous about exams and also the mounting amount of work I have to get done so I compiled a few of the ways I cope with exam stress! I wish all of you currently studying for exams the best of luck!
Organise♡
It seems so simple but finding a structured approach to revision is usually the most productive and stress-free. If I write down what I need to do of an evening, I am far more likely to go home and complete the list. Organise your work and desk space into a clutter-free space. Organise your revision materials into folders so you know exactly what you have. It will help you feel stress-free if you have a structured game plan and everything you could possibly need in front of you.
The Sunday Night Game Plan♡
Every Sunday night I sit on my bed and plan my week. It may seem far in advanced to plan the whole week but it really helps me to cope with stress. If I write down what I need to do everyday it helps me know exactly what my goals of that week are. That way when I come home I have a check list and when that check list is completed the evening is free for me.
Get Outside♡
When I'm studying inside I tend to feel like a hermit crab just stuck indoors. One of the best ways for me to help relieve stress and anxieties is to go for a walk. I went to the beach in January on a weekend where I was quite anxious and stressed and just being outside really did take my mind off any stress. If you can, at least every fortnight, grab your wellington boots and go off adventuring!
The Importance Of YOU Time♡
As well as having a schedule of structured study it is also as important to schedule in time for yourself. Have a night off from study once and a while. Have a bubble bath, read a book or binge watch netflix! It will help you relax, clear your head and take your mind off things.
There's Nothing A Bubble Bath Can't Cure♡
I completely agree with this quote. The first thing I do when I get home is shower or have a bath because for me being submerged in hot water filled with bubbles makes me feel calm and it's really peaceful to have some alone time in the bath. It really helps me clear my head and helps me forget about my stresses.
I hope these tips will help you!
Lots of love,
Emily xx
