What to do when stressed...

What to do when you're stressed about deadlines...

So as the end of my course looms upon me, I am stressing out as it's a lot of work for me to do in two weeks but here are a few things I have found to help with the stress.

Eat Healthy
 - If you eat pizza every day, the carbohydrates and fat in it with make you feel tired and grouchy. Have a chicken salad instead! The nutrients in the salad will awaken your senses and make you feel alive. Well, this is what it does to me haha! Eating carbs makes me feel tired therefore eating something acidic or sweet like fruit and vegetables will help keep you alert.
Avoid drinking fizzy drinks as well. Try drink water or squash to keep yourself hydrated without the caffeine.

Take Breaks
- Try and do 40 minutes of work then take a 10-minute break. This helps your brain rest for the next 40 minutes of work. Have a drink and a snack in this time to keep your brain and body fed and so you can use your brain for your work! Also, you are giving your eyes a rest from screens so go lie down for 10 minutes and make sure you aren't looking at a screen as this can tire your eyes.

Set Goals
- Before you start work, set yourself goals for that piece of work. Set small goals like "I will answer two of the questions by my first break" this way you can do your work in small bits and you don't have to rush as it is a small goal. Taking your time with small goals helps your work become better as you think about it more. So then you did 40 minutes work and now you have a 10-minute break. Look at what you achieved in that 40 minutes. If you didn't achieve it, make sure you do by the next break. If you did, set yourself a new goal by the next break.

Listen to Music
- Listening to your favourite songs while working may distract you so listen to something you haven't before. While writing this I am listening to a Spotify playlist in the study section and it is helping me concentrate on writing this. If that doesn't help and listening to your favourite playlist works for you, do that. People are different in how they work. If you prefer to work in silence, do so. It can help to clear the mind. It is also helping forget about the stress I have of working so it may help you.


If there is anything you do to help you delete stress from your life I haven't mentioned, please tell me in the comments! If any of these helped you, please do say!

The Last Year

So it's a new school year but this time for me, it's different. This year is all about getting the grades to be able to go to University next year. To cherish the memories I will make in the next year. I've started this blog because I love to write and I want to be able to do this weekly. Just touching on what's happened in the week and what's made me smile. Over the past few weeks, I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions. A lot of them were not good feelings and although some of those still remain, I am happy for once. I am happy because of the support I have from friends and family when telling them the problems I have and will be facing in the coming months. It's quite hard when you cannot tell anyone what you really feel when they ask how you are. You don't want to tell them to bring their mood down but you need to talk to someone. But right now, that is over with and i am enjoying the life I have. I am getting help for the problems I am faci...

Lego Tape - Review

I don’t know about you but if I could go back to my childhood and not grow out of Lego, I would. I came across this Lego tape online and oh my god I had so much fun with it.  So let me tell you why I am going to play with this Lego tape for the rest of adult life.   When it arrived, there were four packs with the colours green, red, blue and grey. Pretty good colours knowing I didn’t choose them. They came in around 1m strips and are quite flexible. Going to cut them, I found they were easy to cut into pieces, the only problem with this is you can’t put them back together. I found to tackle this is to put two strips together and they should line up and then bricks can be placed on them. Also, this means you can join different coloured strips with bricks and make what you are building more interesting. Before you get the strips you think about how much you can do with them and where to put them but when they get to you, your mind goes blank. I sat on my sofa and thou...

Study Blogs and YouTube Videos

When writing on my Study Blog on Tumblr at the moment, I am doing the 100 Days of Productivity challenge. I started on February 1st and today is February 20th and currently, all of my work is complete for school on Monday and I am thinking of what to do in the Summer as I will be getting ready for University but also having fun at the same time. When writing my blog, I feel like im letting someone know about the progress I am making with my studies and that is a relief to feel. I want someone to look at my posts and go: "oh she is doing so well with her studies, I am proud". I love just posting about my day or what I am doing at that moment. I just like giving an audience something to look at. Much like my YouTube videos. This brings me onto my next topic for this blog entry. My YouTube Channel. As you may know or watch, I am still on over 300 subscribers and my goal this year is 400 subscriber but am finding it difficult to find videos on what to film and when to film th...
