How to destress

Self-Care Tips

1. Listen to music to destress!

FFF Digital created a collaborative playlist. It’s important to take sometime for yourself. You can listen to music and reflect on life. The good thing about music is that you don’t have to look at a screen to listen :))

⁠

2. Take breaks!

If school or work, or anything feels really difficult, don’t hesitate to take a break :) Your mental health is important, especially during the pandemic where it might be easy to get lonely 😢. But all you have to do is unplug, delete Slack for a while, because mental health is super important :)).

3. Meditate, stretch, do yoga

Ok, this is a bit of exercising, but stretching out muscles and taking time for a healthy body can really help make life a little more bearable!

Here’s some video tutorials you could use:

You can also ask

3. Journal and Plan Everyday

It might seem tedious at first, but journaling can help with unplugging from the computer along with reflection on yourself. You can write anything whether it’s something you’re grateful for, how you feel, or anything interesting that happened today.

And if you’re an organized person, make a little checklist if things need to be done! It might be chores, schoolwork, or work, just writing down your thoughts can help a lot in grounding yourself :)

4. Embrace your hobbies!

Activism can be really draining at times, so it’s important to take on other fun hobbies to find peace. Here’s some ideas:

Singing/Music

Just search up your favorite songs and karaoke to it!

You can also search up sheet music, and
