How I go from stressed to blessed
December 3, 2020
With school, work, extra-curriculars, and other commitments, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. In order to prevent burnout, it is important to take care of yourself. Here is a list of things I do to de-stress:
Pamper myself
I light a candle, use a hair mask, paint my nails, and take care of my skin using my favourite skin care products.
Sweat out the stress
It is important to take some time out of your day to stay active. Working out releases endorphins, which are “feel-good” hormones. I personally like using follow along with Youtube videos.
Crack open a book
I like to mentally unwind by reading. I really enjoy reading self-improvement, travel, and quote books. Here are some of my favourite quotes.
Binge-watch time
Me + Netflix + Blanket + Tea = Zen Fatima
A few things that I love to watch are Jane the Virgin, Black Mirror, K-dramas, anime, and any Noah Centineo movie.
Being social
I love to spend time with my friends and family. They help me de-stress and boost my happiness.
