By Jane Marie June 5, 2012

This magazine suggests that sometimes, in order to succeed, you need to put down the books and chill for a minute! You need to relax! You must read this advice in context to understand the tone (exclamation point!), but here is a cheat sheet of the relaxation tips presented within! Print it out and tape it next to your desk!

1. Go to a funny or light movie — nothing dramatic!

2. Go bowling or go watch other people bowl(?).

3. Watch TV, but only cartoons or comedies — nothing dramatic!

4. Listen to music. If the beats get you too pumped up, try a ballad.

5. Play your musical instrument.

6. Paint.

7. Paint a mental picture of yourself on the beach.

8. Breathe!

9. Smile!
