Ways to relieve stress

 

Hello, all! It's starting to get close to that time of year where we start studying for finals! While studying for finals is super important, it is also very important to give yourself breaks and time to refocus. One way you can do this is take take a few minutes to do a simple breathing exercise to calm down and help you to focus on whatever task is at hand. The exercise is called box breathing and it's super simple. Here's how it works:
- Breathe in for 4 seconds
- Hold for 4 seconds
- Exhale for 4 seconds
- Hold for 4 seconds
Repeat this activity a few times until you notice yourself feeling calm!
Good luck with your upcoming assignments, and remember to take some time for yourself!

    Hi Cadyn! This was such an insightful blog post. I love to use this breathing exercise when I need to calm down. Personally, I get super stressed out when finals come around. It is super important to have a method to calm yourself down. It really helps to get my mind back on track and focus on what I am doing. I will definitely keep this in mind when finals come around and I feel stressed.

Healthy snack ideas

 Choosing what to eat as a snack can be difficult, especially because a lot of snacks are not always the healthiest. I have found the protein balls are a quick and easy snack to keep you fueled and going about your day. They are super easy to make and are able to be made ahead of time and kept until your ready to eat them. You can make protein balls many different ways depending on our desired preference. Here's the recipe that I have found to be my personal favorite. - 1 cup of peanut butter -1 cup of oats - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips -1 Tbsp honey - 1 tsp vanilla You could also add protein powder into the recipe if your looking to add more protein into your snack. I have also seen recipes that incorporate flax seeds, or other types of seeds. I hope you enjoy your protein balls and I'm looking forward to seeing your recipe ideas in the comments below!
