Life is a rollercoaster; I’ve never heard anyone in my life say that life is easy. A big challenge is to overcome long bursts of stress. For example, us college students can have an excess of stress when being fully loaded with tests and presentations and homeworks. Right now, I have a Religion test tomorrow, a second round interview 15 minute presentation on Tuesday, a Calculus test on Wednesday, a Comm project on Thursday, and finally another test on Friday for BIZ 201. The stress levels on my body are currently on all time high this semester. The classes are getting harder, the weather is getting colder, sleep is getting rarer, my concentration is becoming scarcer. College is hard, but the real life after college is even harder. The stress we face at college is just preparing us to face the challenges we will face in the future. What even is stress? Technically stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. How can we improve stress? Exercise helps stress because it makes you rest better and improve your self-esteem. Trigger the relaxation response, which means to relax and give yourself a break to whatever you’re doing or have. Finally, learn to be in the present moment and not trapped in your thoughts and feelings, learn to move on.
