How To keep calm during a busy week


10 Simple ways to de-stress !

Feeling bogged down with too much coursework at the minute; why not use our de-stressing tips to lighten your mood?!



1 - Organise your week ahead, prepare your bag for tomorrows events.

2 - Before leaving the house arm yourself with delightful, healthy snacks to keep your energy going throughout the day.

3 - Always wash your hands and keep clean. When you are stressed you are prone to viruses and colds.

4 - Driving to work or school in the morning, put on your favourite songs and sing like no one is watching. Singing releases endorphins which will motivate you for the rest of the day.

5 - Limit what you’re spending, only use a ATM machine once a week – so you are keeping track of all outgoings from your bank.

6 - After the gym make sure to use the pool as water triggers the body’s relaxation response, helping lower stress-hormone levels.

7 - Give your thumbs a rest – out of work hours put your mobile phone, Ipad or beeper away and relax watching a movie.

8 - When you are facing a major life change just think of a past success – think about past success can help you connect with your resilient side.

9 - Eat plenty of healthy foods to keep your brain engaged and active.

10 - Before bed do some stretches, alleviate any tension from the day’s events and you are guaranteed a great night sleep.
