Show ITHE CAMPUS I YOUR WELLNESS BY THE SUU WELLNESS C ENTER STAFF TODA Y'S COLUM N BY HARMAN B0NN1KSEN, DIR ECTOR Don't stress out! With finals a nd the h o lidays qu ic kl y approaching, the s tress of the seaso n is weighing down on the minds of many students. Stress is a natural reaction of the body to any demand, pleasant or unpleasant. Alth ough physical demands can cause stress, psychological demands are seen as the major stressors. Stress is something we ourselves create and is dependent upon how we interpret situations. What is s tressful to one person may not be stressful to another. The way we respond to stress depends on two major factors: our overall approach to life and the number of stressors we face at one time. Being under stress isn't always a bad thing. Stress can prompt us to respond effectively to a tough situation, to rise to the occasion when a paper is due or a test is handed out. A certain amount of stress is healthy and beneficial. The bad side is that we don't always respond to stressors-like a test you didn't study for or getting yo ur term papers in on time-in a positive manner. You can decide whether stress will have a positive or negative effect on your life. To imp rove the chance of h av ing stress be a positive effect, you need to adopt a positive mental attitude, follow a healthy physical routine and limit the number of stressors you have at any one time. Here are some suggestions to help you: • Talk out your frustrations. When you feel discouraged, vent your feelings with someone who really cares and will listen. • Accept what you can't change. Try to control negative feelings until you find a constructive way to release pressure. • Maintain a healthy diet. Salty foods, highly refined carbohydrates and fat, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine can cause a lack of energy and poor health. • Exercise on a regular basis. • Get enough sleep and rest. • Manage your anger. Sometimes taking a walk is a good way to calm down and gain a clear focus. • Extend yourself beyond your own problems. Stress can be redu ced greatly by doing something for someone else. • Par ticipate in acti vities outsid e your academic life. • Seek out the supportive services here. • Overcome procrasti nat io n. Manage your time wisely. • Keep your sense of humor. Don 't take yourself so seriously. If you have any health questions, please contact the Wellness Center.
