As a college student, it may seem impossible to find time for exercise and preparing healthy meals due to your busy schedule. On top of that, end of year exams are stressful, which adds an additional element impacting your physical and mental health. While winter break is crucial to getting in some much-needed rest and relaxation, it’s important to utilize this time to focus on your physical health as well.

Check out these tips to get your body back in balance after the first semester of the school year:

1.Meditate

Stressed out? Stress is no good for your body and mind, so it’s crucial to relax your mind and chill out. Meditation is the perfect way to destress from exams, the holidays, and school in general. It will help keep you focused and may improve your grades next semester, too!
