It’s OK to say NO ‍♀️ . Ever feel overcommitted and overwhelmed but you’re not comfortable with a hard ‘No’? Here are some other one-liners that you can use instead: . “No thanks, my schedule is full right now.” . “No thank you, I’m unable to help this time.” . “I really appreciate you asking me, but I’ll have to decline.” . “No, I don’t want to engage with that right now.” . “No thanks, I’m working on having less busy and more happy.” . YOU are the boss. This is your show. Get in the director’s chair and orchestrate your masterpiece. You are worthy of doing what lights you up. You worthy of doing what you need to do to thrive. . via @simpleslowlovely / illustration @stacieswift

Still got exams? Hang in there...

Which of you lucky people can relate? ‍♀️

IMPROVE YOUR LIFE - LEARN TO SAY ‘NO’. Why? . 1. The Stress Factor. Saying “yes” when you really want to say “no” is a major stressor for your mind and body. It causes anxiety, tension, aches and pains, often causes us to lose sleep as well. . 2. Get Rid of Toxic People. You don’t really want these people in your life anyway, do you? If you consistently give a firm “no” they’ll eventually go away and find some other, weaker target. . 3. Save Time. We only have so many hours in the day. We can’t do anything about that, but we can control how we use that time. Don’t let others determine your to-do list or set your set agenda. You decide what’s worth your time and what’s not. . 4. More Energy. Taking on things that you don’t want to do or don’t have time for, wastes valuable energy that you could be spending on those things you do care about. . 5. Increase Focus. Say “yes” to people and things that are relevant to your goals. Say “no” to those things take you away from your goals and make you lose your focus. . 6. Gain Strength. Every time you say “no” to others, you’re saying “yes” to yourself. You’re taking back control of your life by not allowing others to make decisions for you. . 7. Enjoy Life More. Life is so much more enjoyable when you begin to say “No” to things that drain you.

Revision truths... ‍♀️

Who thought scheduling exams after Easter was a good idea?

Top 10 revision tips for your final (or first-year) exams . 1. Draw up a revision timetable. Research shows that shorter 20-30 minute spells work best, because your concentration is much higher. Take short, frequent breaks and mix the order order of the subjects. . 2. Exercise. Physical activity is very important, in particular during intense study time. Even going for a small 30-minute jog after a day of revision will make a huge difference to your wellbeing. . 3. Find a quiet space. You need a place where you can be uninterrupted for a few hours. Your room, local or your school/university library will do. . 4. Get down to it in the morning. You have to make a start at some point and doing it sooner rather than later is a very good idea. Try to stick to our draft revision schedule and start revising in the morning - research shows that you are more likely to do all the planned work if you start early. . 5. Spice up your revision. Use a bit of colour! Drawing colourful learning maps will help you to memorise facts. What is even more interesting is the fact that colourful notes are easier to memorise than plain black and white ones. Give it a go! . 6. Do plenty of past papers. Ask your tutor for some past papers or google them yourself. . 7. Make summary notes. Making notes is by far the best way to memorise lots of information. . 8. Reward yourself. It is not all about the work; you need good breaks too. People who manage to find the right balance between study and leisure are the ones who get the top marks. . 9. Use your family and friends. Ask people around you to test you and give you feedback. This is not only a good way to revise but also a good way to have a break from the hard work. . 10. Think positive! At the end of the day, it's not all about studying. There are plenty of people who did well in life without 100% in every single exam, or who were actually pretty useless at school and university. Your life isn't over if you don't ace the exams, so take the pressure off yourself… . via @the.independent
