Tips on Stress Management

Dear Students,

• Take a time out. Walk slowly and without purpose. Don't worry about walking "to get somewhere and fast." It doesn't have to take long - but get away from the environment for a few minutes every hour or two if possible.
• As always, watch your diet. Try to eat sensibly and stay away from the over processed foods that do nothing to help the body.
• Use good posture. Slouching catches up with the back and the rest of the body in painful ways.
• Practice deep breathing. The body needs this oxygen. This can be done anywhere and can become a great habit after awhile.
• Give your fingers a break too. Stop typing - and stretch your fingers for a few seconds. Breathe in deeply, and imagine the stress leaving your body through your finger tips as you exhale.
• Feeling better already? Finally, leave work at work. Trust me, it'll be there tomorrow and nothing productive will come from reliving the entire work day on your drive home. Meditate to some peaceful music instead.
