1. Know when to take a break

When you have 5 important finals all on the same day it may seem impossible to find time for a break. However, our minds requires rest to function, over working our brains without taking a break leaves them feeling exhausted.

2. Have a mini declutter session

Taking 10 minutes to quickly organize our living spaces can really help clear the mind. When your living space is cluttered, your mind tends to feel cluttered.

3. Unplug for a while

Sometimes disconnecting from the digital world and reconnecting with ourselves can make the biggest difference for our mental health. This time can even be used to try new places and things to do.

4. Create a list of positive affirmations

An affirmation a day keeps the negative thoughts away. No but really, creating a list of positive affirmations and reading them everyday can really help our minds form more positive thoughts.

5. Slow down and be present

Life feels like it’s moving a million miles an hour sometimes. When we slow down and become present we can analyze our lives and how we’re feeling more clearly.
