Mentally stressful days are common in our fast-paced and demanding lives on campus. From assignment deadlines to personal obligations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and mentally drained at the end of the day. However, taking time to refresh and recharge is crucial for your overall well-being. Here are 10 ways to refresh after a mentally stressful day:

 

1. Relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, meditation, or yoga are effective ways to reduce stress and promote relaxation. These techniques can help calm your mind and ease tension in your body.

 

2. Physical exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Exercise can also help reduce tension and promote relaxation.

 

3. Take a walk: A brisk walk outside can help clear your mind and improve your mood. The fresh air and natural surroundings can be calming and rejuvenating.

 

4. Connect with friends or family: Spending time with loved ones can be a great way to unwind and de-stress. Engage in meaningful conversations or participate in fun activities to take your mind off of work and other stressors.

 

5. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is important for your mental and emotional well-being. Take a bath, read a book, or do something else you enjoy. Prioritizing self-care can help you feel refreshed and renewed.

 

6. Practice gratitude: Focusing on the positives in your life can help reduce stress and improve your mood. Take a few minutes to reflect on what you're grateful for each day.

 

7. Listen to music: Listening to calming music can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Create a playlist of your favorite songs or listen to nature sounds to help you unwind.

 

8. Engage in a hobby: Doing something you enjoy can be a great distraction from stress. Whether it's painting, cooking, or playing a sport, engaging in a hobby can help you feel refreshed and energized.

 

9. Get enough sleep: Sleep is crucial for mental and physical health. Aim to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night and establish a relaxing bedtime routine to help you wind down after a long day.

 

10. Seek professional help: If stress and anxiety are interfering with your daily life, consider seeking professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide effective coping strategies and support to help you manage your stress.

 

In conclusion, taking the time to refresh and recharge after a mentally stressful day is crucial for your overall well-being. Try incorporating one or more of these techniques into your daily routine to help reduce stress and improve your mood.

Two Mariams, One Stage: JJ Classics Production Casts Sociology Sophomore, Osaremeh Ijebor, Opposite Veteran Thespian

  Ijebor’s presence on stage will inevitably invite comparisons with Temi Agoro. While Agoro has the formal thespian training to boost her performance, Ijebor’s approach to the role may be done simply with outsider instincts and adaptability. AUTHOR: Eniola Awolesi K. At University of Ibadan’s Theatre Arts department, the theatre and its stagecraft-art are seen as a profession, and more than that, a heritage. So in casting decisions, the casting of a non-thespian in a major role is about as rare as a honest politician. Yet, this year’s ambitious theatrical performance by JJ Classics Production of SANKARA has done just that. A sociology sophomore by academic discipline, the spotlight has fallen on Osaremeh Ijebor as a frontline actor playing the requisite role of Mariam Sankara, wife of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso. Of the 13 actors that make up the mainstage and student show cast, Ijebor is the only non-thespian. As a cast in the student show, she will be shadowing main...
