Everyone wants to be healthy but some think having good
health means that you are free from illness or disease. When in reality, there is
more to being well than just that. For this weeks campus safari I went to the
Student Health Center to find out more about stress in the lives of college
students. In one of the brochures I received, stress was defined as “a normal
physical, emotional and mental response to change- regardless of whether the
change is for the better or worse.” This made me think that stress can actually
be a positive thing. It can motivate us to work harder. I also learned ways to
effectively deal with it both for short-term and long-term results. Breathing
and prioritizing your work are two short-term stress reducers. Recognizing your
own personal limitations and being positive are two ways to help your stress
levels for the long run. Remember you’re not alone! Everyone gets stressed. You
just need to find which way is best for you to handle it!
