Academic stress is prevalent among students and is caused by poor study habits, poor time management, peer competition, societal pressure to excel academically, and procrastination.
However, there are many ways to handle academic stress. Read this article to find helpful tips to combat mental stress.
Here are a few tips to manage academic stress:
1. TIDY YOUR STUDY DESK
The ancient science of Vastu Shastra dictates that the northeast part of the house should be free of clutter. This would promote peace of mind and help manage stress. Therefore, make sure that you clean this part of the house regularly.
2. POSITION OF MIRRORS
Make sure that the room you sleep in has no mirrors. If you have a mirror in the room where you study, you should not put the mirrors on the west and the south walls. This is to avoid any lousy energy coming your way.
3. SLEEPING POSITION
According to Vastu Shastra, if you want to avoid academic stress, you should sleep in a particular way. For example, students who are stressed about their exams and deadlines should avoid sleeping with their heads in the north or west direction.
4. CONDITION OF THE STUDY TABLE
It is essential to keep your study table clean and clutter-free. Vastu Shastra strongly advises you to keep your study table neat to attract positive energy.
Make sure that your study table and bed are used by none as that could contaminate your space and attract negative energy. Bad energy could affect the student’s mental health and spirit.
Make sure your study table is a few inches away from the nearest wall. This provides space for energy to dwell. No bookshelf should be put on the wall above the study table. The shape of the study table should be rectangular or square.
5. SPECIFIC COLOURS TO USE
Try and paint the study room a calming green or a cheerful yellow. If painting the walls is not feasible, try to get curtains, pillowcases, clothes, wall art, and bed covers of yellow and green colour to attract positive energy and luck.
6. POSITION OF THE TABLE LAMP
The lamp should be kept in the southeastern part of the desk to attract the right energy.
7. PERSONALISED YOGA FOR HANDLING ACADEMIC STRESS
Yoga is an ancientpractice that can help you deal with academic stress. You should devote some time to your day and practise Yoga poses selected based on your date of birth and name.
8. CRYSTALS
Crystals hold immense healing powers that can help soothe your mind. The best crystals promoting healing and stress relief are amethysts, celestites, Howlite, rose quartz, and black tourmaline.
Place these crystals in your study room, preferably on your study table, for maximum effect. Always carry crystals with you wherever you go and keep them close while practising meditation. Along with using the crystals, it is essential to use words of affirmation.
9. PERSONALISED SOUND THERAPY
Multiple studies have proved sound therapy to help with stress relief and overall mental health. You can try guided personalized meditation, a form of good therapy where you meditate while following voiced instructions.
You can also change mantras or prayers. Personalized Guided meditation selected based on name and date of birth can help you reduce stress, improve memory, and decrease anxiety, which will help you do better in exams.
