12 Tips To Avoid Academic Burnout

Make time for things that make you happy -  Set aside a time when you only do the thing you really like. Whether it be watching a good movie or riding your skateboard, for that full amount of time you don’t do anything but that. 

Make sure to eat good quality food -  Give your brain good fuel! Not only does food taste yummy and give you energy, but it also gives your brain the nutrients it needs. 

Get some exercise in -  Moving our bodies has a ton of benefits; it can help us sleep better, give us a dopamine boost, and keeps our bodies healthy. 

Positive self-talk -  Encourage yourself every day and remind yourself that you are very capable of doing what you set your mind to. Also, remind yourself that you are trying your best and giving effort as much as you can. 

To-do list and notes -  Making a to-do list is a great way to keep track of daily tasks. Instead of trying to remember everything and giving yourself a headache, writing it down can help. 

Get organized -  Having a messy room can bring feelings of chaos and be distracting. Cleaning up your main spaces can help you feel better and bring calmness. 

Set goals to motivate yourself -  they don't have to be big goals, they can be small. This could be anything like making sure you attend all of your classes that week or doing something ahead of time for a certain class. 

Talk to someone and let out your stress! -  Sometimes talking it out can make things feel less complicated. Sometimes it’s mostly in our heads. Sit down with a friend. And if that feels uncomfortable. 

Get outside -  Get into nature, face the sunlight, and breathe some fresh air. 

Meal prepping -  If there is one thing that has helped me this semester, it has been preparing meals ahead of time. 

Take breaks while studying-  Let what you’re learning sink in for a minute and give your brain a rest. Get up and move around, get a snack, or wash your face. Step away for a minute. 

Change where you study -  If you're getting frustrated and aunty, change where you are working! Sometimes a change of scenery and vibe is all we need to get back to it.
