How do you cope with your anxiety?

Hey all. Hope everyone's well.
It's been a while since I posted anything and sadly that was due to the second round of midterms. It seemed as if only yesterday I started this 'new' place but it been a few months... geez where did the time go.
I don't know how many of you get sudden anxiety attacks when it's time to write a test or a major exam but for me sometimes I do. I study weeks in advance or days in advance but when its time to actually write the exam I feel super nervous and I start to shake and my heart rate rapidly increases. So what do I do to cope with this? I do a lot actually. I listen to music right before tests sometimes or I'd do some writing. Or hey you know what I just walk outside and take some fresh air and drink some water. This helps to keep me calm. I feel less stressed.

This is my go to song to calm my nerves.

Like other university students, I feel stressed too. For the past few weeks I've been feeling terribly homesick and I missed my parents and little sister a lot but I had to find a way to push through and I find that just finding ways to distract yourself helps cope with the sadness that tries to creep in. Sometimes skype isn't enough!

When things get hard and you feel like there's absolutely nothing you can do, just get up, put on some music and dance it out. It helps, trust me.

If I'm stuck when doing homework or an assignment or something I just get up and dance it out.

It doesn't have to be a special occasion to make yourself feel good. Just do what makes you happy and calm.

So how do you cope with your stress? I'd love to hear from you, so don't be afraid to drop a comment.

Until next time...
