When I get stressed out, I tend to isolate myself from others and practically turn into a ticking time bomb. For instance, if I'm stressed out with piled up school work, I lock myself in my room all day. If anyone of my family members try to talk to me I get even more frustrated, so they tend to leave me alone. Lately though, I have been doing better at managing it only because my classes are spread out so I have more time for breaks to calm myself down. I started drinking more stress relieving tea which in my opinion is very helpful, and if I am extremely stressed out (which is rare now), then I go to my girlfriend's place where she helps calm me down by binge watching my favorite shows with me. So despite my history of exploding due to stress, I am doing much better with managing it which reflects well with my grades.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098807179922066604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-48052254940692390052017-05-17T16:46:37.517-07:002017-05-17T16:46:37.517-07:00Reading this article I found it to be very interes...Reading this article I found it to be very interesting, I believe Travis Bradberry's insights about how successful people stay calm and stress free were really helpful in handling stress. Being that I'm in the last quarter of my freshman year of college I've learned to how to manage my stress levels much better, however; in the first couple of quarters I experienced lots of stress. Not only was it a new environment and surrounding for me, but also the amount of work and effort that was needed to be successful in my classes. Recently, to manage my stress I found myself praying and taking breaks in between whatever it is that's stressing me out. There are an unlimited amount of ways to manage stress, it may be different for some but it is recommended to find a way that suits you.kiara clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057194994963764082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-57748462486165152722017-05-17T10:28:02.323-07:002017-05-17T10:28:02.323-07:00I do believe Bradberry's steps are essential t...I do believe Bradberry's steps are essential to mitigating stress in specific situations as well as in general. I do also agree that some stress and anxiety is important for motivation as well as it helps keep our efficiency and productivity up. Critical steps that I have had great success in is disconnecting from email/phone and relying on the already established support system. The latter proved to be a backbone during high stress moments while I served in the military. The support system will keep you focused and provides you help from peers when needed. Lastly I believe the most underrated step from above is getting enough sleep routinely. Getting adequate sleep daily will help maintain not only a motivated positive outlook on your responsibilities, it will allow you to be more productive and efficient with your responsibilities.

If I am consistently in a relaxed state I will just be "floating" around, and not getting what I need done, done. I guess you could say that stress is where I harness my motivation from. However, when I do need to decompress I mindlessly watch episodes of The Office since I don't have to think, and can just laugh, and forget about all my worries.

When I catch myself doing this, I like to take a deep breath and think about something positive. After taking yoga this semester, I have gotten more used to blocking out negativity and really focusing on my bodily needs. I would rather spend my time doing something productive than stressing over something that won't matter in a few days. It is very important to have people in your life that you can vent to and receive advice from. Whenever I feel myself getting worked up over something, I tell myself to keep my cool because I know that the stress isn't worth it. I also like to go outside and enjoy nature and fresh air at times like this.

Yes, I've figured out that I'm more stressed when I don't know how to manage my time to study and do homework. What I found out that helped was actually taking breaks in-between studying. I find that if I just study for a really long time without a break, it's not as efficient as taking a break every now and then. The second thing that works for me is that I try to stay as positive as I can because you can't go anywhere if you're just going to have a negative attitude about everything. I also like to sing to lessen my stress and I find it really helpful because singing helps me loosen up instead of tensing up from any amount of stress I have. The last thing that really helps is writing everything you need to get done in your planner or somewhere you've always looking at in your room or work (cork board, sticky note on your computer, etc) so you're not stressed with what you have to accomplish for that day or in a certain time frame. That's how I evidently manage my stress.

Listen to good lyrical music. Music that gives a deeper message rather than listening to my daily music (which most of the time is negative). I try to only listen to that when I just want to have fun and be energetic. Listening to good music with a good meaning to it will help you think of the more broad picture and that will help you relax. Because there's 1440 minutes in one day, you can't let 10 minutes ruin your whole day. Just like if you had $1440 you wouldn't be mad if you lost $10 because you still have plenty more left and you can get it back. That's how I look at stress. Can't let one thing effect so many different aspects of life.KendallShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174229991801653714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-18607218725316507742017-01-30T10:39:41.454-08:002017-01-30T10:39:41.454-08:00Since starting college, I try to keep my stress le...Since starting college, I try to keep my stress levels to a minimum whenever there's new work coming up. However, there are days where I get stressed all of a sudden and struggle to keep up. As I read the article, I come to realize that I unknowingly do at least half of these things whenever I stress myself out, especially the first one, which is appreciating what I have. Despite having struggles as a freshman in college, there are other people who don't have the same opportunities as I do. Though stress is important, it doesn't mean I have to break down and cry. I have many different ways of staying calm, several of which is exercising and thinking about some positive things that happen each day, even if it's a small thing.Eventually, I start to think about what I was stressing over and wonder if it was something that was really stress worthy. While stress is important in order to be efficient, it's also important to find ways that people can use to decrease their stress, which can be beneficial in the long run.

This article had great points on how to cope with stress. I relate to most of all them when it comes to stress. I believe when dealing with stress, the most important aspect to cope with stress is to be positive about everything. I am a very stressful person and so when I am usually stress I usually think positive thoughts and just relax and breathe. Thinking positive and being relaxed in a stressful situation is very important. It calms me down and shows me that I don't need to be stress about whatever I was stressing about.

Stress is something that happens to thousands of people all over the world and is a very common issue. It caught my attention how most college students face stress and is important to know how to treat it. Stress can affect a person wellness and it could led to depression or other factors. Some important advices that I do when I am starting to feel stress are taking my dog for a walk, listening to music, meditating, exercising and so many other things Reading this post made me realize that all these things being discussed are something very important and we often don't realize it. I usually always try to go out and look at nature, this calms my mind and relaxes me for a bit. I always try to think positively this helps a lot because it allows me to think, relax and not panic. Once in a while, I have this app on my phone called Calm, I would use this when I am about to go to sleep because they are soothing nature tones that helps me relax. All these things are very important because it could help a persons wellness and that is very important and I really hope most people could try applying these things to their daily lives. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806344320450525049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-12077646909840326422016-05-18T12:37:34.204-07:002016-05-18T12:37:34.204-07:00It is important to have a good amount of stress in...It is important to have a good amount of stress in order to perform at an optimal level. If you encounter too less or too much stress, you become depressed or have an emotional meltdown. I believe that stress does lead to successful results. It feels great to be stress free after being stressed especially after midterms and finals. To help control my stress, I do things that I love like working out and enjoying nature.

I am stressed 24/7 and lately its been getting a lot worse. However, I have noticed that my grades overall are a lot better when I take 17 units then when I take 12 or 13. I complain about it all quarter long but at the end of the day I keep myself busy and it leads to better grades. Stress also motivates me to get my work done because I know I will get to relax for few days before something else is due. I also like to think about how failing makes me more stressed at the end of the day so it motivates me to get stuff done. nicolevaldeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098037078404194872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-15448468409504333742016-05-09T12:13:47.348-07:002016-05-09T12:13:47.348-07:00Although stress is something I go through everyday...Although stress is something I go through everyday as a college student, I do agree with the article that stress can lead to successful results. From what I have experienced this year, I can honestly say that stress has helped me by pushing me to get my work done. I have realized that when I’m not stress I tend to leave my homework and studying for the last minute because I’m not overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. Stress helps by getting me to sit down to finish all my assignments. I try to look at stress as a motivation to do better and to get my work done, instead of looking at it in a negative way. The things I do to stay calm during stressful moments in school is I first stay positive. I think about how I will feel once I take my test or finish my homework. I also try to get enough sleep before a big exam, this has helped me stay focus and remember the material I studied. Overall, without stress I would be slacking in school and would be uninterested in the material. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241564347617548032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-15767706758462542182016-05-04T11:10:09.081-07:002016-05-04T11:10:09.081-07:00Gabriela Delgado

Yesterday was one of the most stressful days of my life. I had a lot going on, however I made it throughout the day. Now that I am reflecting back on how stressed I was yesterday I think of all of the advice that this article contains and how I was actually so stressed that I did get anxious throughout the day. I usually stay calm, but yesterday I was not able to, I had to work right after school, didn't have the opportunity to eat but only one meal, and that just made me be in a very bad mood. However, everything turned out to be okay, I was stressing out and anxious all day for nothing, I regret it because a couple of my coworkers noticed how quiet I was and how I was distancing myself from anyone. I'm a very social person, and I don't like being in a bad mood, yesterday was just not my day.However, in order to change that I will start to study little chunks of things every day, at least an hour a day, I will fix my work schedule as well, in order to be able to sleep enough hours to not be stressed nor in a bad mood the next day.

Many college students usually procrastinate till the very last minute to do their assignments which puts a lot of stress on them. Doing an assignment last minute makes you stress out because you have a time limit plus most students have to stay up all night to get the work done which makes you lack sleep. In order to keep my stress levels balanced I make sure I’m on top of everything, well most of the time. I make sure I have spare time to do a fun and recreational activity so I can enjoy myself. It is recommend to make sure you do a fun activity which keeps you distracted from others things that get you depressed. Sleeping on time and doing exercise helps relief stress levels but if you are really stressed, try to find a way to avoid causing unnecessary stress on yourself.

I would not recommend this to everyone though because not only do I study all day that day, I also study a little bit everyday so I already know some material going into the exam. If I could give advice to an incoming college student I would tell them to try to understand the material while you are in class. I know sometimes we as students could wonder off and start thinking what we are planning to have for lunch, but it is important to stay on task so in the future you are not cramming to hopefully pass an exam. In my case I have learned to cope with stress through my family. Ever since I was about ten years old was expected to be able to clean after myself and the household when my mom would be at work. It is a bit hard having to balance school, work, chores, and being to even have a glimpse of a social life. When it comes to school it is my number one priority, but sometimes it is hard to focus because my family is always having some type of events going on. at times i have to miss out because of school work. I hate missing family events due to the fact that we are so close. Anyway some people can cope with stress; it comes naturally, but others just cannot cope with it.

That is the stress I go through almost every day. It's difficult being a student and a mom at the same time but I keep learning how to control it one day at a time. When I was in high school I stressed to keep my grades up because I wanted to graduate high school. There were so many people who stressed me out because I was pregnant my senior year and they would say I was not going to make it and I was going to be part of that stereotype. I know now that if I did not go through all that stress and hard times I would not be in college right now. Now I do stress out but it is not like before. If I don't get something done on time I know I can get a lower grade but it will be turned in. In times of stress you find out who is really there for you and who isn't. I have met people who stress about life but don't do anything about it to get somewhere in life. They way I stay calm during stress is be positive that everything will get done and everything happens for a reason. I rather feel stressed than feel depressed or feel like a blob of nothing. Stress builds great people.

Its not fun and its definitely not easy. In the past, I didn't react well to stressful situations and if I'm being completely honest here, I still don't. The difference between how I reacted to stress in the past and how I deal with stress now is that before I would allow myself to wallow in the depths of it and now I fight it. With so much going on in our day to day lives, it is extremely easy to get stressed about one thing or another. The solution to stress isn't to try to run away from it or get rid of it but to cope with it in a healthy manner. One thing that has greatly helped me to reduce stress is to control my thoughts and mind. As the blog post stated, you must think positively otherwise you're going to be scatter brained and unable to function properly. Second, take a break. As you grow up, you notice how little time you actually have and what little time you do have is being spent on completing tasks and beating deadlines. You have to relax once in a while otherwise you're going to crash and burn. Find time within your busy schedule and dedicate at least three hours per week that are completely yours to do whatever you wish to do, even if that means laying in bed doing nothing. Thirdly, keep in contact with friends and loved ones. My home is seven to eight hours away from the University I attend so I don't have the opportunity of visiting them whenever I miss and need them. I do however have a cell phone that allows me to call them or FaceTime them which is what I do whenever I feel stressed and overwhelmed. Lastly, let it out. The longer you bottle these things up, the longer it eats you up. Find a healthy release. Whether its exercising, reading and writing, drawing, or even just talking to someone. It will make you feel better and help you see things with more clarity. These tips don't remove the stressful things in life because there will always be something or someone to stress over. What they do is lessen the stress and help recharge you so that you handle the stressful things in life in a better way so that you are able to enjoy life with a little bit of more happiness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-40878506599808983472015-11-23T10:52:06.604-08:002015-11-23T10:52:06.604-08:00Stress is a part of day to day life, especially fo...Stress is a part of day to day life, especially for college students. For most students it is when they start living on their own and/or taking on new responsibilities. They are faced with a load of school work as well as a bunch of social opportunities and sometimes work. In the journey to adulthood college students start juggling many new things that cause them to stress out when they do not handle them perfectly. Students often tend to procrastinate and because of that will sometimes do a poor job on the assignments due, resulting in even more stress. College is a time in ones life when they are constantly moving and doing something. It is rare that a student finds the time to relieve stress in their life in the ways this blog states. However, I think that we should all find the time to get more rest, think more positively, take the time to breathe, etc.. Your quality of life is much better when you're not stressed, happy and you've slept well. I know for me, as a college student, I am constantly stressed, constantly rushing to do things because I am failing at juggling the things in my life and managing my time and I think it would be really beneficial if I actually tried to destress because being stressed while trying to do things just makes it impossible to get anything done. Plus, I am much happier in life when I'm not stressed and I am able to complete all my tasks on time.Haley Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894971691925036354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-67908546427409685362015-11-23T10:20:55.407-08:002015-11-23T10:20:55.407-08:00Stress is something that everyone goes through in ...Stress is something that everyone goes through in their life. I would say that most college students deal with stress because it is the time in their life where they have to start being an adult; finding jobs and paying for their own stuff. Staying positive is always good advice, but it can be difficult because people seem to make themselves feel down when they do not need to. As a college student, I tend to stress and worry about a lot of small things. For example, I will overreact and stress out if I am not sure what will be on a test, or if a professor is picky with how an assignment is supposed to be. I usually worry and tell my friends, but in the end they all just tell me to calm down and that I will be fine. And usually, that is the case; I end up being fine. One way for me to cope with stress in college is having a planner. Some classmates tell me that when they buy a planner they won’t bother to write in it later on. I feel like planners are something that you need to get used to or force yourself to use, otherwise you will be all over the place. If planners are not a good option, finding something else to manage your time better will help. Planning out what assignments need to get done on which days will help you not think about all of the things that need to be completed in one day. Staying positive is a good way to deal with stress, and telling yourself that you can do it is always a way to avoid putting yourself down. Sleep is definitely something that people should take advantage of because without rest, you won’t be as alert and you will eventually forget things. If anything, take a break between your works. Relax for a bit or take a nap, and then you will be ready to work again. It is all a part of telling your brain to do what you need to do, because if you are lazy and keep pushing things till later, then you won’t get anything done in time. I would say that I have never experienced being stressed to the point where I want to pull my hair out of my head, but I’ve only gotten stressed to where I want to give up and not do it anymore. I noticed that when I study, I make sure I eat because if I don’t, then I get a headache, and no one wants to do anything with a headache. I also make sure that I am comfortable; when I am at home, I make sure I am in comfortable clothes or else I will get distracted. From here, I would time when I want to take a break and section off how much I should study. Planning out what to do beforehand will make you prepared and less stressed about what else you need to finish. Also, students usually have a bad habit of procrastination, which tends to lead to stress. This is where you can start planning out what to do throughout the week instead of crunching it all into one day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682945769110885525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-76794183200526452482015-11-23T10:20:38.651-08:002015-11-23T10:20:38.651-08:00“Stress”, just hearing the word makes me sweat a l...“Stress”, just hearing the word makes me sweat a little. The words stress and college seem to fit perfectly together, I can’t hear one word without the other. Me and stress just can’t seem to part, I feel as though I have gotten too comfortable with it, I live in a state of stress 24/7. I can be having a wonderful time just watching some shows, and then it hits me like a slap in the face, “Is that paper due today?” “Do I have homework?!” it doesn’t really help that these thought occur around midnight. 95% of the time that I have been stressed is purely because I have been procrastinating, then I forget about the assignment completely until I log in Blackboard. When that moment comes, I buckle down. When in times of stress I take a deep breath and push forward. I never overload myself to the point where I just don’t want to do the assignment. I completely understand that I put myself in the situation and now it is up to me to get out of it. At first I take a deep breath, and start getting some snacks, eating always helps with diminishing the stress. Then I make a plan of how I will get the situation handled, writing down steps on what I will do, really helps out, so I am not fumbling around. Stress is sometimes unavoidable, but when it comes to school work and procrastination, that is always avoidable.chionefranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724400680327400621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-65499659339988267132015-11-23T10:17:38.847-08:002015-11-23T10:17:38.847-08:00I agree with this 100%.

I have always been stressed out since the day I started high school until I got to college. I was glad I was able to find some tips in this reading because getting opinions from other people on how to cope with stress can be a bit helpful. However, "stress" will never leave your side because it is constantly going to be there whether you think it isn't. Also, I also feel that stress comes in whether you are failing a class, procrastinate, or even have too much on your plate. I have learned from others that it is best to take everything one step at a time instead of doing everything at once.

I find myself often so stressed out because I have no one to go to when I need help. It sucks to know that for a fact I'm not the only one going through struggles in college but seeing this post about ways to help with stress gives me a sense of good and positive energy to continue on with college. Although I was already doing some of the recommendations written in the blog, there were many tips that I found surprising. For example no coffee after 2:00 p.m ! That's when life is just rising, I usually can not function without coffee after 2:00 p.m but if it supposedly helps with stress then I am going to give it a try. Also disconnecting from my phone is going to be a hard one for me because I depend so much on my phone even when I am on my free time I am constantly looking at my phone for updates on my classes. If drinking coffee after 2:00 p.m and disconnecting from my phone weren't so difficult then maybe I would be a less stressed out person but would I be able to function properly? Anyways, looking at this blog was very helpful for me and it gave me a bit of a boost. Now hopefully I can spread the word about these helpful tips.

The worst stress I have experienced, and this is only the beginning. I have taken 16 units my first quarter and have to work afford to commute and 2 hours everyday. Everything is completely different. However, I try to stay positive. I appreciate the small thing like getting into a beautiful university like the one I'm attending. To experience a new life style. Also, meeting the different people here. Some days are better. Some days are worse. I always ask myself the "what if" questions, but I stick to the present and keep on going.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746931894734496417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-60949842449155895312015-11-02T12:56:16.884-08:002015-11-02T12:56:16.884-08:00Many people that I've spoken to since I've...Many people that I've spoken to since I've been to college has told me that COLLEGE=STRESS. I think stress starts when students begin to procrastinate. It really sucks too because over half of college students procrastinate even when it comes to the smallest things. "I need to straighten up my room in order to finish my homework, but I will do it in 30 minutes." *one hour later* "I don't feel like it so I'll do in two hours after I take a nap" By the end of the day you never cleaned up, which means you never did your homework, which leaves you stressing out the next morning because you only have one hour to get ready and finish your assignments before class begins. When I feel like I am about to begin stressing, I like to organize my life. I write a long to-do list and next to each task I like to write down how much time I am giving myself to complete that task. By doing that I prevent myself from procrastination, which leaves me stressless. That is the number one thing I do to avoid stress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880589488728668325noreply@blogger.com
