It is now quite common for college students to feel under stress in the modern world. As for me, many kinds of things, such as an important exam, my parents’ expectation, the uncertainty over job prospects, etc. can induce emotional tension. Since too much stress may undermine our well-being, whether physical or mental, we must find approaches to deal with it.
For my own part, there is no better way to relieve stress than doing something relaxing, which can help me regain control of my emotion. With a peaceful mind, I can straighten out my problems. Apart from that, I also try to simplify my problems by setting a specific short-term goal that will improve my mood and take a lot of stress off me. Thirdly, I will spend more time with optimistic people, for it is they who often encourage me never to give up and find silver linings even in desperate situations. Finally, I share pent-up worries and concerns with my parents, teachers or friends and ask for their assistance.
From my perspective, at no time should we ignore the negative effect an overdose of stress may exert. What’s more, we need to find outlets for stress before it threatens our health and weighs us down.
