Yep, you heard me correct. I am stressed up after the week 8 torture(refer to previous post=] )
Why so you ask? The bulk of Term 1 test results are going to be released this week so I am waiting with bated breath( NOT) to see how I have fared. For the better or worse, it is all up to fate...
Anyways, here I am discussing some stress relieve options. :) Goodbye stress ball, hello useful techniques for relieving stress.
First of all, its VERY important for one to find out what he likes to do. Reading, sports, even gaming, well not excessive gaming. For example gaming. Find a game that you like. Kind of obvious isn't it? Well you have to make sure that the game ifs both fun, yet not addictive. This is because being addicted can make one even more stressed. How? The person would be too engrossed in the game and want to achieve a higher level or status to show off to his fellow gamers. This sense of achieving something could be so overwhelming, that one would feel stressed if he does not manage to complete it.
Managing your time wisely can also help reduce stress. For example, if you have too many events cramped into a single day, you would feel the urgency to complete all of them at once, and this would in turn stress you up if you could not complete it. Worst yet, it could lead to procrastination. if you leave things to the last minute, the stress builds up even more, possibly causing headaches in some cases.
There you are. the two top tips on stress relieve. Well at least for me it is. :)
Great points you have in your blog post! I agree that managing time well and developing interests helps you to study smarter and relieve stress respectively. I heard from the radio today that "Peace and wealth(not the materialistic fortune) is very close to everyone actually, it's just that we do not find or think about it". I believe that to "stop and smell roses" can help you think in a positive mindset and help you be "distracted from stress".
ReplyDeleteGoing to the beach and watching a sunset can be both mesmerizing and relaxing. Appreciating peaceful, tranquil moments of life help you de-stress as well. As students, stress management is very important, as well as keeping a mental balance of life. Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones and increases the level of health-enhancing hormones. It also increases the number of antibody-producing cells. This can actually help us to develop a stronger immune system, as well as fewer physical effects of stress. It can also distract ourselves from negative emotions like anger and sadness. So Joel, laugh more!

Yeah I definitely agree not cramming too many things in a day does help a lot.
ReplyDeleteMoving your attention away from the issues at hand and gives you a time to breathe. What Jarrett has mentioned does help too. You could also try healthier alternative use of your time such as doing ace! As it diverts your attention of the negative view of things.
However in the mean time smile more! Your results will be fine! Besides its only term one, there is a long way to go.
