Stress is defined as the
nonspecific response of the body to any demand upon it; it can be a state of
mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding
circumstances. I am sure that most people have experience a state of stress in
their lives, for example, stressing about school such an exam, their body
image, social standing, economy, their future, and the list goes on. When we
experience a situation of stress its because he develop a sense of fear that we
do bad for example in school, that our future get another path or direction as
how we planned it.
The signs and symptoms of stress
can be seen not only in a physical way, but also emotional, behavioral, and
cognitive. Few examples of them could possible be: memory problems, constant
worrying, moodiness, depression or general unhappiness, nausea, diarrhea,
nervous habits, procrastinating or neglecting responsibilities. All this
symptoms can be influenced by other psychological problems or even medical
problems. Also some symptoms can be more severe than others, depending on the
situation and how each body reacts to it.
It is normal to feel stress about
something that worries you, but when it starts to become more frequent that the
symptoms are increasing, you develop new symptoms, your life is not as how it
used to be before, then you should consider seeing a doctor and seeking medical
attention. Also, its good to learn how to manage your own stress situations,
for example avoiding unnecessary stress, don’t panic or alter about a situation
instead try to be more assertive and deal with problems head on, learn how to
adapt to the stressor, and accept the things that you can’t change. If you are
one of those people that overthink every situations and stresses about
everything, try these stress management, and think positively about whatever
you are going through. It might be difficult to overcome the problem but for
every negative situation there is a positive outcome you just need to keep
fighting and never give up.

It is true we all have stress at one point or another. Stress is even more prevalent in college students who frequently worry about grades and homework assignments that need to be done. So a little stress is important to keep the body in a mode that makes you more efficient. In contrast stressing over everything does a great deal of harm. The tips provided are very helpful to reduce stress. I especially like the muscle relaxing technique that helps relax not only your body but also your mind.
ReplyDeleteAs a full-time student with a part-time job and active member in various organizations, I know from experience what stress is and the different ways it can affect an individual. I'll admit stress has impacted my life (on several occasions) to the point where it negatively interfered with my emotions, way of thinking, and behaving. With that said, I'm constantly trying to manage it and find new ways of doing so. The information and video you have provided, I think, have shown excellent ways of dealing with stress.
ReplyDeleteI thought u had some good point and also you could ask the question, who is more stressed than a college student? Stress impacts many people and in very different kind of ways, some more serve than other. I guess you just have to deal with the situation and make the best out of what you have working for you. I myself try not to stress over small things but what I found that has been stressing me the most this semester is this constitutional law class that I am taking right now. All I can do it study and read for the class, the good thing is that this semester is almost over and I could finally relax and take it easy. What I found out that helps me relief some stress is going to the gym and working out for a couple of hours I just place my headphones on, and this is the only time I’m not thinking about what is stressing me out. I guess next time I am really stressed out I will take a warm long shower since it seems to help the situation. I really enjoyed the video it had many tips in case in the later future I find myself pulling out my hair.
