24. Stretching:
While a student is studying, they often sit for hours on their desk or chair. Getting

up once in a while is advisable. Also stretching your muscles after 2 or 3 hours refreshes
you. Your neck, your hands and legs needs a bit of stretch once in 3 hours. Or it would
cause discomfort not allowing you to concentrate. This way you lose track and in due
course of time feel dull.

could try out this option to stay connected with your buddies. Group study helps one to
analyse what is important or what you had overlooked. By staying focussed on the
subject, revising with your friends could make you to help them or they help you to solve

a problem that you hadn’t known.

each day.

such a manner that you keep some time for relaxation.

to study and make notes of anything you don't understand or are unsure about
and discuss this with a teacher or friend. You should discuss your course with
your friends .You can also give each other moral support.

 Make sure you are able to shell out some time for exercise, aerobics, walking,
cycling, swimming, dancing - anything to get rid of the stress in your body.

 Make sure you get fresh air each day - even a ten-minute walk in the park,
round the block or spending time in the garden will help.

hours before a favorite programme they want to watch - it helps knowing that
after your study you have something to enjoy.
