Don't cha feel stress and lethargic after a day of crazy schedules lining up one after another?

And you feel that your life's mundane and meaningless with all the same hectic timetable everyday.

(Which summarize the following: No life. No parties. No friends.)

You will soon find your life circulating around your work and more work!



Thus, you will start shutting yourself up in this black and white monotone space with only YOU, alone...


working on your designs in this blank space filled with question marks.

Very often we will find ourselves having problems with stress and bad time management. This is ONE BIG ISSUE we should consider whenever we're caught in a overscheduling situation.


There are certainly many ways to de-stress example like learning how to relax your mind, having enough sleep, learn to solve everyday problems and not avoiding them because it may in turn lead to a bigger problem at the end of the day... etc.



And of course, these are the "common" and boring ways of relieving and handling stress.

Fun ways of stress control

Like what it's written on the banner,


"Think outside the box, SHINE outside the classroom"

"*Shine* the sky's the limits"



Yea, these are some of the common inspirational motivational quotes you can find everywhere in the sites or books.

This comes in handy for the "battle against stress"! Hoho~




#1

Strengthen class bond


If you think design course is about working solo and keeping all your secret weapons of designs and techniques all by yourself (Boooo! Selfish loser!), you are darn wrong! 




You will learn much MUCH more as a class

and as a whole, you would in turn benefit a lot more!




You can't deny the fact that working with a group of friends is so much better than having yourself burnout at night, drinking hot coffee at your bed side, so much so tempted to sleep in and forget all about the work that is left undone.

1 suffer together
2 laugh at one another mistake
3 learn from the mistake
4 work, enjoy and have fun together
5 guaranteed satisfaction when jobs done!
6 Outshine the other class



Just like that...

Nothing is impossible

so have yourself try out the impossible!

Learn to think of challenges as opportunities and stress as temporary problems, not disasters!



Go SK!

BUT, be realistic! Don't push yourself too far if you're unable to do what the other peers can afford! It's crucial to walk away from peer pressure coz it might hinder your inner strength and self-confidence.


In this line, self-esteem is the key factor to your product design! If you have low esteem and have no confident in your product, no one will be attracted to it. Therefore you have to pay attention to your own feelings!



Sherline! Fret not! Slowly... eventually you will be able to reach for it!

Stay positive and learn to think more optimistically! Don't try to be perfect- coz no one is! Ask for your peers help if you need one!(:

Go for the JUMP!

Exercises relieves stress. It helps to build the body and mind in the right condition.

Do you know?
Stress actually influences our weight gain!

When we are feeling stress, this "stress hormones" actually influence our mood and emotional condition, thus leading to depression. As a consequence we yearn for FOOD/SNACKS that are normal sweet and fattening.

It adds on with all the supper since we usually work late and stuff.


Before you even realise, you had gain 3 pounds in a month! God bless.

So start jumping,
jogging, dancing like crazy today!

You can just blast your music in your room and dance away like one crazy chick! - That's what I normally do. Gosh, did I just say that?- roar!




Jump people! Jump and reach for the stars~

Camwhore like there's no tomorrow


Hmmm, I mean really crazy camwhore like the one below...



Bear in mind to check out the focal point of the picture...


So there's more to "camwhore" not only acting glamourous and kawaii in them!



Yay! We learn judging and putting our focal point (Design elements) as a class together! - lol



Taking picture can also relieves your stress! At least, we smile and enjoy THAT moment. Right?! No? Yes?!


Hang in there! Keep smiling and stop moaning!



All the way!
Until you reach the finishing line


Start by having fun today! ;)
