Stress Management Tips for Learners

by Sumera Kulsoom

Nov 12, 2012 Study Skills 6252 Views

 Stress is a feeling of emotional and physical tension. It can cause severe health problems and in extreme cases can cause death. If you are a learner, you have probably noticed that you are experiencing stress from many different areas. Worries about finance, relationships and academic performance can all have an impact on your mental and physical health.

 

Elimination of stress is unrealistic, since stress is a part of normal life. It is impossible to completely eliminate stress and it would not be advisable to do so. Some stress management techniques can be adapted to control the stress and its effects on physical and mental health. Managing stress is all about taking charge of your own thoughts, emotions, schedule and the way you deal with problems.

The most important stress management techniques are:

Manage your time better: Poor time management causes a lot of stress. When you are running behind, it's hard to focus on learning. Make sure you do not over extend yourself.

Look at the big picture: Take perspective of the stressful situation. Ask yourself how important it will be in the long run. 
Have role models: Emulate people who have had success that you admire. Learn about the struggles they have had during their career paths and the techniques they used to overcome difficult times.

Be more assertive: Do not take a back seat in your life. Deal with problems head on, doing your best to anticipate and prevent them. When you have got an exam to study for and your chatty room mates just got home, say up front that you only have five minutes to talk.

Focus on priorities: Write down your priorities and celebrate when you reach each one. It is one of the best tools to achieve the desired goals.

Do something you enjoy everyday: Make time for leisure activities that bring you joy, whether it be playing the piano or working on your bike.

Keep your sense of humor: This includes the ability to laugh at yourself.

Exercise regularly: Make time for at least 30 minutes of exercise

Eat a healthy diet: Well nourished bodies are better prepared to cope with stress, so be mindful of what you eat. 
Reduce sugar: Sugar provides a crash in mood and energy. By reducing the amount of coffee, soft drinks chocolate and sugar snacks in your diet, you will feel more relaxed and better.

Avoid drugs: Avoid alcohol and cigarettes. Self medication with alcohol and drugs may provide an easy escape from stress, but the relief is only temporary. Do not mask the issue at hand; deal with problems with a clear mind.

Get enough sleep: Adequate sleep fuels your mind as well as your body. Feeling tired will increase your stress because it may cause you to think irrationally.
