What to Do When You’re Feeling Drained

Hey students, lately you may have noticed a lot of people are feeling drained by life — the challenges they’re facing, their workloads, the anxiety of the world around them, and more.

Here are a few tips to practice if you or someone you know just don’t feel much of a capacity to do anything.

1. First, notice that you just don’t have it today. You would like to crush life and get a ton of crap done, but today isn’t the day. You’re drained, depleted. It’s ok, take time to refresh.

2. Then ask: “What do I need to do to take care of myself?” That might mean taking a nap, taking a day off, doing a lighter workload, skipping your workout for that day, meditating, going for a walk, taking a bath, drinking a cup of tea, talking to a friend, listening to music, watching some television, eating a little dark chocolate, giving yourself love.

3. Empower your time off. That means, instead of feeling bad about it — see it as a way to love yourself and get yourself back where you’d like to be.

Happy New Year!
