Winter is right around the corner, which means that you are probably going to be staying indoors.
Also, it is almost finals, so everyone on campus might be a little under the weather and over-whelmed. Everyone gets cabin fever sometimes, so here are a few tips for how to stay happy and healthy this winter plus all of these tips will not cost you one dime!
Rather than buying yourself presents to make yourself feel better, try working on your bonds and strengthen your social bonds between friends.
Try placing colorful pictures or flowers around your dorm room. The colors of the flowers remind you of the summer and the sun.
Petals of flowers have been shown to give positive emotions. We know that school can be negative but, according to directory M articles, the best way to fight off negative energy is to put positive energy back into it. Positive energy will make you and the people around you feel better. Another way to stay happy this winter is to set an easy goal.
This goal can be as easy as you want, such as cleaning up your dorm desk or organizing your school binders.
This is a great way to stay happy because when you accomplish it, you sense control over your life.
This allows you to feel in control even when you feel out of it. Other ways to feel happy is to have snacks that you have not had in years.
This will not only make you have a good taste in your mouth, but it will bring back good memories.
Even though you might not have much time due to studying, you should always make time for any sort of work out. Working out is known to release hidden stress.
Whether you run ten miles or take a jog around campus, just moving around is a great way to stay happy.
The happiest people feel that they have control and power over their own time.
It is okay to say that you are booked for a lunch date with someone at the Upper Deck and take time for yourself.
When you decide to go on that lunch date with friends, it is proven that if you walk the long way back to your dorm, you can actually become happier just by switching up your busy routines.
While you are studying for ten hours on one class, make sure you take breaks and completely take your mind off the subject for ten minutes. It is bad to focus on something for that long. Get up and walk around to let your brain have a break from staring at your studying materials. Staring too long can cause your head to hurt.
While you are taking a much needed break, remember to laugh or smile.
Laughter is the best endorphin. Maybe take a break and go into the North Side Bistro and eat.
It is shown that having color for foods on your plate triggers different feelings. Make sure you color code your meals and have a rainbow assortment on your plate.
Over all, just make sure you take an interest in yourself this winter and make sure you do not take yourself too seriously. Live a little and be successful.
Have fun with life. School is just one part of your entire journey on this earth. When it comes to studying and exams, the only thing you can do is try and hope for the best.
And if you don’t do well on a certain test, just let it go and try harder for the nest one during the semester.
There is so much going on with school so if you try these tips you will be set.
