Self care in the race to exams

Hello people of the internet, We have hit the final race to exams. I started the week very stressed, after all, there were less than 30 days until my first exam. But this where my mega self care plan comes in. My mental and physical health is a priority. At the end of the day I no longer care if I come out of school with all As.

I shouldn't be pressurising myself to be the best of the best if I'm not happy. So now it's time to crack down on my resolutions. Drink water. Meditate. Excercise. Read (especially on the weekends.) Take breaks. I have started journaling and I intend to continue doing this at least until summer. The race to good grades and good health has begun. Until next time -Emicool

Now, this is quite good because we do get help from teachers and it does force us to actually revise and not procrastinate by watching all 4 series of Sherlock, the Christmas special and all of the bonus features back to back... Some good news: I have finished all of my coursework for all of my subjects! This means that I don't have to stress about deadlines for coursework and I ca...
