“you can discover more about a person in an hour of ρℓαү than in a year of conversation”. ~ Plato

ρℓαү is essential for brain development and it is also suggested that the brain actually grows when playing. Therefore, if children do not ρℓαү, their brains do not grow!

ρℓαү is the vehicle by which all human beings develop communication and social skills, creativity, problem-solving, and has been identified as being essential for human survival.

ρℓαү reduces stress in our lives and has been shown to increase children’s abilities to pay attention through unstructured physical ρℓαү.

ρℓαү reduces the tension that comes with having to achieve or needing to learn.

ρℓαү is an active form of learning that unites the mind, body and spirit.

If students experience high levels of anxiety before an exam, they should engage in self-care strategies during this time by keeping an eye on: sleeping through the night, nutrition, exercise and implementing a few relaxation routines (see also: bhramari pranayama)
Students sometimes forget these small steps as they can feel consumed by the fear of the exam.

Here are some of my top tips for combatting #stress and #anxiety during the exam period:

𝔾𝕖𝕥 𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕪 𝕠𝕗 𝕤𝕝𝕖𝕖𝕡
Sleep is really important for our physical and mental health. Sleep helps to regulate the chemicals in our brain that transmit information. These chemicals are important in managing our moods and emotions. If we don't get enough sleep, we can start to feel depressed or anxious.

𝔼𝕒𝕥 𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕝
There are strong links between what we eat and how we feel and food can also have a long-lasting effect on your mental health. Your brain needs a mix of nutrients to stay healthy and function well, just like the other organs in your body.
A diet that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.
A healthy balanced diet includes:
* lots of different types of fruit and vegetables
* wholegrain cereals
* nuts and seeds
* plenty of water.

𝔸𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕚𝕥𝕪 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕖𝕩𝕖𝕣𝕔𝕚𝕤𝕖
Your body releases stress-relieving and mood-boosting endorphins before and after you work out, which is why exercise is a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and depression.

𝔻𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕤
Helping others isn't just good for the people you're helping; it's good for you too. Helping someone can help with your self-esteem and make you feel good about your place in the world. Feeling as though you're part of a community is a really important part of your mental health.

𝔹𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕚𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕞𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥 allows us to let go of negative or difficult emotions from past experiences that weigh us down. Start by bringing awareness to routine activities, such as taking a shower, eating lunch, or walking home. Paying attention to the physical sensations, sounds, smells, or tastes of these experiences helps you focus.

The 𝐵𝒽𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶𝓇𝒾 pranayama breathing technique derives its name from the black Indian bee called 𝐵𝒽𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶𝓇𝒾.

𝐵𝒽𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶𝓇𝒾 pranayama is effective in instantly calming down the mind. It is one of the best breathing exercises to free the mind of agitation, frustration or anxiety and help get rid of anger- so great for E᙭ᗩᗰ ᔕTᖇEᔕᔕ 📚

A simple technique, it can be practiced anywhere - and is an instant option to de-stress yourself. The exhalation in this pranayama resembles the typical humming sound of a bee.

1. Sit up straight in a quiet, well ventilated corner with your eyes closed. Keep a gentle smile on your face
