As time demands increase, save moments for yourself

As the school year begins to come to an end, the motivation to stay focused is extremely tough. Trust me, I know. But self care does a lot to improve motivation. If you feel good on the inside, you have the ability to do anything.

Sometimes in the midst of life we forget to take time for ourselves. If we don’t take care of ourselves correctly, we won’t be able to do our best in school or work. We all get caught up in so much, and we all forget to take care of ourselves.

It doesn’t take much to give ourselves a boost, so why not take one night to care for ourselves? It’s important to take care of your mental health, and stressing through school does nothing but cause anxiety.

Treat yourself- Go out and get your nails done, buy some good food or buy some clothes.

Take a bath- It does wonders to your skin and relieves stress.

Go for a run- It helps clear your mind.

Write- Replacing the clutter in your mind onto a piece of paper takes the weight off your shoulders.

Hug a family member- Their love and support will push you to finish the school year on a good note.

Go on an adventure- Take one weekend and go camping or road trip. It gets your mind off of the stress of school, and you come back feeling refreshed.

Rearrange your room- For me, change gives me motivation to do more good in my life.

Eat fresh fruit- It just makes you feel good overall.

Volunteer- It’s fulfilling helping out people and/or communities.
