Due to our tight academic responsibilities and overwhelming extracurricular activities, burnouts are quite common among students nowadays. Here are eight things you can do to deal with burnouts:
Take a Power Nap
Power naps help you recharge your energy and get you ready to start working again.
They also improve learning, memory, creativity, alertness, and mood. I would recommend napping for 30 minutes at most, because anything more will lead to a longer sleep session.
Shower!
Stressing out? Take a shower! A cold shower maybe able to wake you up, but a warm one will calm you down. I would highly recommend starting with warm water and then cold water.
Exercise
It's important to get moving! Exercise releases endorphins or happy hormones that help you combat stress.
Run A Quick Errand!
Running an errand will help take your mind off things and keep you at ease. Plus, you're killing two bird with one stone by getting your chores done and exercising (walking).
Snack
Eat, preferably something healthy - fruits, nuts etc.
Consume food that are high in proteins (meat [or] cheese), vitamins (fruits & veggies), and fibers (bananas) to boost your mood.
Explore the Net!
I don't know about you but to me - surfing the internet is one of the most relaxing things. Scrolling the interweb requires great amounts of discipline, and can be a game changer if used wisely. In between study sessions, I'd look for something that can make me laugh.
Listen to Music!
One of the ways of gaining energy is through music. When having burnouts, choose the right music, as not all the music you enjoy listening to is going to get you up on your feet and moving. As for me, I prefer listening to instrumental jazz music. However, you might be energised by a different style of music - rock 'n' roll [or] latino pop. Choosing the wrong genre of music will might make you feel sluggish and drained.
Get Some Fresh Air!
It's important that your body receives sufficient amount of oxygen - 20%. To think clearly, it's important to get sufficient amounts of fresh air. At the same time, you're feeling less tired and can concentrate easily.
