“Isang buwan na lang.” That’s what I told myself the moment I returned in the university after that pseudo-break. The last month left in the semester would always be the busiest, the most stressful, and the one filled with those ~deadliest~ deadlines. But fret not! Here’s some of my proven and tested tips on how to chill. I do some of this when it feels just so tiriiiiing. But, honestly, doing these after ticking all that boxes in my to-do’s is the best feeling EVER. So go on and take a piece of advice that you think might also be helpful for you. 😉
Allot even just a slight of your time for your hobbies.
Binge watching movies or series and reading a book are the things I love doing the most when I have free time. Doing these things relaxes me as it redirect my focus away from stress and all the acad stuff. Doing these once in a while as a reward system also works! So, go ahead and you do you.
Bond with people you love.
Sometimes, all you need are people whom you can laugh with and share stories with. Giving time for them, the same way you do with academics wouldn’t hurt. Time spent with them are times that are irreplaceable.
Go out and appreciate.
Inhale, exhale. Appreciate the nature you see and feel around; the cool breeze of the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the movement of everything. Take time being completely still. You’ll be able to see how busy and tiring life is, nevertheless, there are also some things which makes it beautiful and worth pushing for.
Recharge yourself completely.
A power nap would be good but it won’t be enough to keep you going in the long run. There’s nothing like waking up in the morning with a full 8-hour sleep. Give it to yourself sometimes, and trust me, the energy and motivation within you will ~overflow.~
That’s it! Just hang in there a little longer, my kapwa isko/iska, the semester’s about to end so give the best that you can all the time. You’ll gonna make it and before you know it, ~chill~ month is real.
