Tackling Back To School Anxiety

Heyo, Im back! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Today I will be talking about how to feel more relaxed and less anxious for back to school.

-Get enough sleep

I know, literally any post youve ever read about health in any way, shape or form has probably mentioned getting enough sleep. Well, its because sleep is actually very helpful and beneficial to your nervous system. Of course decreasing anxiety isnt as simple as a good bedtime routine and 9 hours of sleep, but it definitely helps.

-Do something you enjoy

Whenever all the anxious thoughts come poking in, try distract them by doing one of your favourite hobbies. I like to play ukulele and sing. This activity can be anything; writing, reading, karate, you name it! Its a good temporary distraction from anxiety.

-Get some sun exposure

Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to anxiety, so lets soak up the sun before the summer ends.

-Exercise

I personally have too much anxiety to go run outside or go to a gym, too much people for me. So I do some 5 minute workouts in my bedroom throughout the day (easy things like jumping jacks, squats, crunches). Even the slightest amount of exercising can help reduce stress.

-Remember the positives of school

Soon you will be graduating and you will be thankful for the good grades youve gotten. School is there to prepare you for your amazing future.
