Relaxation Strategies

Take a moment!

Sometimes school work and daily life can be busy and noisy. Taking a moment somewhere quiet, away from others, can refocus you. Sit, close your eyes and chill.

Read a book!

Escape into magical lands and read a book. Reading engages your mind and your imagination. When your brain is fully engaged in one task, it helps us to relax.

Move your body!

Moving might not seem like relaxing, but physical activity pumps oxygen to our brain and helps improve concentration and thinking. Dance, walk, run or play a sport. Just get moving!

Get natural!

Be like a cat and explore. Being in nature helps to improve our mood and calm our minds. Natural light is also beneficial for well-being. Head to the park, your backyard or even the beach.

Clean up!

It might sound like a chore, but cleaning up and decluttering can help our mind to reorganise and refocus. Clean your room, sort your school books, write a to do list and enjoy the calm.

Get groovy!

Music is a proven stress relief, helping us to relax and unwind. Any style of music can help, from opera to rock. Take some time to listen to your favourite song for a moment.

Let it out!

Sometimes we just need a good cry. It’s okay to feel emotional and if you feel like crying, let it out. Emotional tears release stress and help us relax.

Cat nap!

Sleep is one of the most important ways to make sure we can deal with stress. Getting enough sleep is important for our well-being and reduces anxiety. Even a quick ‘cat nap’ can help!
