Take breaks

One way that can instantly reduce stress for anyone is to take breaks. Don’t try to study for 5 hours straight – instead try to study in small chunks with breaks in between. This will allow you to have enough energy left for the next study session and not be overwhelmed by all the work that you have. Take breaks by having a walk or doing some simple stretches.

Do breathing exercises

Take a deep breath in for five seconds and let it out for five seconds. Do this several times until you feel better but do it slowly and concentrate only on your breathing.

Get enough sleep

You have probably heard all the benefits of getting sleep since birth so I won’t write a whole list about that. I just want to keep it short and simple: sleep is important to keep concentrated throughout the day, mental health and productivity. Research has shown that an average teenager needs about 8-10 hours of sleep to function best, so get to bed on time!

Laugh

Laughing has been proven to reduce stress as you trigger yourself to smile, be happy and forget about the stress. It increases oxygen flow and blood flow which makes you happy and automatically reduces stress. Make yourself laugh by looking at funny memes or talking to others.

Don’t worry about the future and don’t compare yourself to others

By doing your homework in time, it stops you from doing things last-minute and stressing about it. But if you are in that situation right now, just pray and don’t worry about the future or comparing yourself to your neighbour, enemy, friend, cousin or whoever. You are yourself.

That was some of my tips on how to reduce stress for students. I don’t get stressed too much about studies but a little stress is okay as it shows that you care about the work. Leave in the comments down below what you do in order to manage stress. Check out my other articles too:
