I am amazed at how much traffic that were generated to my site because of the post prior to this and i think that the people are constantly on the look out for tips and tricks, therefore i think i will post tips and tricks that i know and found out in between my regular posts.

Okay, now that’s out of the way, let’s get into business. May maybe a month that is stressful for college and university students since it’s final examination month. Yikes. I’m currently facing my final exams too and i know what kind of pressure and stress that is burdening our mind.

The good thing about stress is that it keeps us motivated and we’ll be on our best game to conquer our objective,but, it also has it negative side. Long-term and prolonged stress will cause the cardiovascular and the immune system to undergo negative changes and wear out the body’s reserve. This negative stress could, over time, take a toll on your health.

Well, i searched on the internet on how to fight stress and here I done a quick summary for you guys so that you guys don’t have to read the whole thing, just the main points

HOW TO FIGHT STRESS

1. STOP. Stop and take two or three minutes to close your eyes, take several deep breaths, and allow the situation to melt from your mind. Allow yourself a chance to think, calmly and peacefully.

2. MOVE. You don’t even need to exercise to relive stress, even though exercising would help decreasing stress. Start moving, walk around, jogging or just a brisk walk somewhere peaceful. Walk along a road that has green sceneries, clean air or even just walk around a place that doesn’t have so much people. This will surely take your mind off of your problems.

3.SLEEP. 8 hours of sleep is the average amount of sleep time for people. A good night sleep is when the body can fully repair itself and prepare you for tomorrow’s challenges.

4. DIET. A balanced and healthy diet can help to decrease the amount of stress that you are facing. Eat foods that contain high vitamins so that your body can increase it’s power to fight bad energy a.k.a stress. Don’t eat a heavy meal too close to bedtime, as it may interfere with your sleep.

5. WHAT YOU LOVE??. Do things that you love/like most in life. Maybe you can put in 30 minutes a day to do things that you love most. Maybe reading,watching TV,surfing the net, ANYTHING that you love. This will release endorphins(the happy juice for your brain :P) and keep you happy and keep your mind of the stress-causing problem.

I hope that these tips that i given you helps. It worked for me!!
