It may sound a bit odd. But when you’re most stressed out about studying, I think it’s a good idea to stop and reflect. Why did you start studying for qualifications? Daydream for a few minutes about how you’ll feel when you’re qualified. How will you celebrate? Who will you call? Take a short walk or get some exercise.  A change of scene could also help. There’s plenty of other things to try as well.  What works for you? I’m always looking for new ways to help Studying Members. So go ahead and spill the beans.
