  • Take a break: You may feel like you need to study for as many hours as humanly possible, but at a certain point this all-in approach becomes counterproductive. Schedule in short breaks: chat with friends, grab a coffee or go up and down a flight of stairs.
  • Get moving: Increasing activity level is something you can do to help relieve the stress and to feel better. Rhythmic exercises such as walking, running, swimming, and dancing are particularly effective, especially if you exercise mindfully (focusing your attention on the physical sensations you experience as you move).
  • Eat a healthy diet: Healthy diet can help to cope with life s stressors. Eating a diet full of processed and convenience food, refined carbohydrates, and sugary snacks can worsen symptoms of stress while eating a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, high-quality protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, can help you better cope with life s ups and downs.

  • Get your rest: Students often tend to study overnight. This provides them with less sleep which can accelerate stress. It s extremely important to sleep for 6-8 hours during an exam to give rest to your brain.
