We’ve all been there.
The anxiety of getting your exam results after a stressful exam season is unavoidable and only natural.
So here is a list of things you can do to help ease up.
Listen to some feel good music
My favourite thing to do when I start feeling stressed is turn on some good party music and dance to it.
Good music is bound to put you in a good mood and help you forget about those upcoming results.
Here is a song suggestion to start you off ; Hung Up by Madonna, now go sing and dance your stress away.
Watch your favourite TV show … again
No shame in watching The Office for the 10th time in a row.
Some TV shows can become comfortable to watch because they become predictable in a world that is unpredictable.
10 minutes into the episode and you won’t even remember what you were stressing about.
Going out
Basic thing to say I know, but sometimes all you need is to step outside even if you don’t have friends, take yourself out.
Staying inside will only drive you mad if you’re just waiting for those results to come in.
Do something fun like go get a coffee, set up a picnic, go thrifting, go on a car ride, go do whatever your heart desires.
Be in nature
Doing anything outside is better than doing it inside.
Take your books to the beach or go paint amongst the trees.
It is the best way to slow down after such a hectic exam season.
Do all that you couldn’t do
Did you feel like you had to say no to yourself during exams?
It’s time to start saying yes. Play that video game, go to the gym, bake those muffins!
You have all the time in the world while you wait for the results.
Be Spontaneous
This isn’t something you can always do, but spontaneously deciding to do something you been wanting to do will help.
Go ahead and change your hair colour, get that piercing!
You deserve to be a little irresponsible sometimes…
Spoil yourself
Self care can take shape in different forms.
Give yourself just that, take some time where you focus only on yourself.
At home spa day, online shopping, napping.
Whatever it is, you deserve it!
