vce?

Well lately I've noticed people worrying over their homework this week, and people seem to start getting stressed |:

So i found this thing in the mwsc vce diary, and it's about stress and coping with it. I am pretty sure that not many people would know about this anyway so ill just type it all out for everyone (: (but ill make it slightly simpler :D)

14 ways to deal with stress:

1. Prioritize your tasks. Don't let work pile up and then do them all at the last minute. work first, socialize later.
2. Make lists. Make yourself a list of what needs to be done and in what order. That way, you'll get all the important stuff done first and won't forget about them.
3. Manage time. Set yourself enough time to do the work for each subject. So, spend more time on the more important tasks.
4. Don't take more than you can handle. Know your limits.
5. Don't let one thing take over. Don't spend all your time on one subject. Divide your attention so that you wont fall behind in any subjects.
6. Don't keep things to yourself. You don't have to cope alone. Take some time out to talk to people, don't let your worries build up.
7. Take care of yourself. Make sure you get enough sleep each night, and avoid too much stimulants like caffeine.
8. Eat well-balanced meals. When you stress, you use up more of your body's nutrients, so make sure you eat enough healthy food.
9. Exercise. Make sure you get at least some exercise. It can help boost your energy, clear your mind and release pent-up emotions.
10. Take a day off to rest occasionally. If you're stressed, you won't be able to concentrate well. Give yourself a day off from homework and enjoy yourself, have some fun.
11. Set realistic goals. Don't try and do the impossible. Make sure you are able to achieve the goals you set. Don't push yourself too much.
12. Encourage yourself. Use any way you want to encourage yourself. Remind yourself that an A would be good, but it's not the end of the world if you don't get it.
13. Keep things in perspective. Don't get distressed over stuff you can't change. An exam or assignment might seem important now, but in the big picture, its really jsut a small part of your entire life. Just do your best.
14. Exercise your sense of humour. Laughter is the best medicine. Having a good laugh can ease pent-up emotions. Next time you feel stressed, find something funny to laugh at; failbooking, a comedy movie, thomas's singing (jokes :D) anything is ok.

4 ways to IMMEDIATELY deal with stress:

1. Take a 60 second break. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and clear your mind for a bit.
2. Relax for 5 minutes. Think of the place you most want to be at that moment, people that you want to be with, and just relax for 5 or so minutes.
3. Make a "worry list". put all your feelings and thoughts onto some random piece of paper can immediately help your stress level. You'd be surprised how just putting your feelings and thought to paper can help you release steam.
4. Treat yourself. Do anything that you love. Listen to music, watch some anime, watch a movie, talk to friends, anything that you want to do. Just try and relax and enjoy it.

For all those people stressing over homework, i hoped this helps (:
