Stress-be-gone

 

 

Threw out the semester I have ran into a lot of stress related issues but I have managed to overcome all of them. Everyone has their own ways to handle stress it can be the simplest things that could change someone’s mood. For me the few things that have made it easy for me to deal with stress are listening to music, writing poems, taking walks and talking with family/friends.

 

Music is a big part of my life, ever since I was little I would just dance and sing around the house not knowing the meaning of the song but it made me happy. Now that I am older and music has evolved a lot since I was little, the songs that help me relieve stress was music that was created around the time I was born. This might sound odd but if it wasn’t for music I wouldn’t be where I am today (I believe).

 

Next to music talking with my family and friends is the biggest stress relieve to me. I remember my first few days at Southern I would call my mom and my sister between classes because I was nervous scared and stressed. Just hearing them tell me everything was going to be ok reinsured me that everything was going to be perfect. Now that I am settled in more I meet with my friends and we talk about how our days are going and eat lunch together. It does help me a lot knowing that my friends and family are there to support me very step of the way.

 

Taking walks is the easiest and simplest stress relieve. Between classes the majority of the time I will put my head phones in and begin walking normally I would be to a friend’s house that lives close by, but the walk there just relaxes me. At the same time you’re getting exercise.
