1. Time management

The fear of running out of time triggers stress. Managing time will help you to stay calm and relaxed. Make a time table for your daily studies and tasks. The important thing to remember while making a work schedule is to keep it real and simple. Set priorities and keep a reminder for all the deadlines. Make sure your work schedule includes eight hours of sleep, frequent breaks during study time and time to relax.

2. Exercise

Working-out will not only keep your body healthy but will help you to stay active and focused. You can go for walking or work out in the gym. You body produces endorphin when you exercise and this makes you feel good. Doing sports or practicing yoga will also help. Doing yoga will relax your body and calm your mind.

3. Talk it out

According to studies, talking to your friend just once a week can decrease the stress levels and makes you happy. If you have just joined a new school or college and do not have a friend, talk to the counselor or the therapist offered by the school/college. Talk to them about the problems you face or whenever you feel like talking to someone. This will help in reducing the stress.

4. Meditate

It may seem boring but it will help to calm your mind. You will not need anything to do meditation. Just sit quietly for five to ten minutes daily focusing on your breathing. This technique will relax you and reduce stress levels.

5. Take rest

Give your body and mind some rest. While it is important to study hard to succeed, your body needs rest to work efficiently the next day. So, have a good night’s sleep and take breaks frequently during your study time. Go to bed if you are sleepy and get sufficient sleep. Set a timetable for your studies and your free time. This will help you to be more relaxed.

Why Schools should create social responsibility to drive change?

Why Schools should create social responsibility to drive change? A school plays a vital role in the child’s development. Children get their formal education in a school. Schools need to promote the education which is meaningful and has to be fit into the framework of the society. Today’s children will grow up and become future adults of our society. Hence if today’s children are not made aware of their social responsibility towards the community then the social issues or problem will grow more and more. There is an urgent need to foster strong mental and social health amongst today’s children so that they can connect with their peers, their elders, the community, the environment, etc. School education must empower children to be active citizens, caring, responsible and compassionate human beings.
