Did you know that 41% of adults worldwide report experiencing a lot of stress? According to Forbes, if not managed, stress in every area of life can lead to burn out. Minetum wants you to know that as students you are not alone in these stressful times and we are here to help! We provide a Career Coaching program made specifically for students who need some help navigating their college and career life. We also want to give you as a student some tips and tricks now on how to successfully manage your mental health during midterms.
1. Plan and Prioritize
One of the biggest sources of stress is feeling overwhelmed. Feeling like you have too many deadlines and important exams can make it feel like there isn’t enough time. Creating a structured study schedule can help break down tasks into manageable portions. This will help you to feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
2. Take Breaks and Practice Self-Care
Studying for hours without breaks can lead to burnout and decreased productivity. Minetum believes that it is important to continue to engage in activities that you enjoy even when you feel stressed or that you ‘don’t have time.’ Doing activities that you enjoy will actually lower your stress levels and make you more productive.
3. Seek Support When Needed
It is ok to ask for help. Whether this is reaching out to professors, checking in with friends, or calling a family member, seeking support can help lower stress. Minetum offers free guides specifically made for students who are looking for some extra help.
4. Keep Things in Perspective
Midterms are important, but they do not define your entire academic career. Do your best, but remember that one exam does not determine your worth or future success. Remember, your mental health matters just as much as your grades. Take care of yourself, and good luck!
