My experience of stress

joshuaegarcia — 2023-12-01 19:54:09 UTC

In my own personal experiences I tend to ignore a lot of things so I dont go through as much stress as the next person. The only time I really experience stress is when I procrastinate to do my work for school. More often than I would like, I tend to not do my work on time and wait for the last minute like this assignment I wish I started earlier but here I am doing it right before class ends. How I deal with this is that I try to stay positive and really think to myself ¨will this affect me in the future". Most of the time its a yes but I still try not stress myself because I don't work good when i'm stressed. Other ways I deal with stress is talking to my friends about just my day to get things off of my chest that might be worrying me.

Effective stress management techniques from experince

If I ever deal with stress in school I like to reach out to my classmates for help but sometimes that may not be the best method of help. It is great to take a break from the work you are doing and just take a break that doesnt mean go on your phone but to take a breather. Take time to think about the obstacle you are facing to really understand the questions in your head. To help me relax in these situations I like to Relax my head and mind as well and take time to listen to the environment around you. This helps me to have a bigger understanding that this one assignment isn't the end of the world and I should be so worried about it.
