National Stress Awareness Month
Being a young adult can be stressful, especially during this time of year. Different things that can cause stress for young adults are:
– School expectations and frustrations
– Negative thoughts or views about oneself
– Challenges among peers at school
– Chronic medical conditions
Some different ways you can help alleviate and/or decrease the stress in your life are:
– Exercise and eat on a regular basis.
– Get adequate sleep and maintain a regular sleeping schedule.
– Practice relaxing techniques such as deep breathing.
– Develop practical coping techniques. For instance, divide a large project into a smaller, more manageable project.
– Remove yourself from stressful circumstances. Listening to music, speaking to a friend, painting, or writing can all help to relieve stress.
– Create a good support network of friends.
