Take the Relaxation Challenge
Relax, unwind, and start afresh with this relaxation challenge that was designed to help you decompress from the stress of continued homework and jobs. Relaxation is an important part of keeping your mood and mind healthy, so feel free to take this challenge from the top to bottom, or in any order you like.
- Day 1: Take a nice, hot bath or shower, and give yourself a pamper session. This can include exfoliating, moisturizing, or just relaxing in the warm water. And, if you have music playing, don’t be afraid to release some sweet singing!
- Day 2: Do a hobby you’ve been putting off. Whether this be drawing, writing, or just going for a jog, doing something you love to do, or trying something new for that matter, will give you a much-needed break from constant work.
- Day 3: Try out some face masks! Whether it be the Mix and Match Face Masks from the last issue or one you buy at the store, face masks help you start feeling new, refreshed, and ready to start the day.
- Day 4: Read a book/manga. Sometimes just curling up with something to read is a great way to help give your mind some time to recuperate, and to let your imagination run wild in whatever story that is written on the page.
- Day 5: Make or find a playlist with calming songs. A relaxation playlist is great to have on hand if you ever need it as well, so your future self may thank you for making it!
- Day 6: Write on a scrap piece of paper what you’re grateful for. Writing this down is a great way to remember all the good things in your life, both past and present.
- Day 7: Watch a funny YouTube video or TV show. Sometimes a good laugh is enough to help keep the stress away, and whether that be with a funny cat video or a comedic TV show, there are plenty of things that are out there.
