Also, experimental research which has been performed on animals, also displayed results relating to stress and negative effects on the body. It has been shown that stress contributes to the initiation and development of specific tumors within the body.Everyone can experience and suffer stress because of the modernity life of our world, but we will only focus on college students, because we know that studying is not that easy for everyone, and for them, stress is a thing that they need to get used to, because as a student, you'll encounter things that will challenge your rationality.
Stress is not always bad. In small amount it is good because its pushes you to do well and do your best and it has athletic performance. It also plays factor motivation, adaptation and reaction to the environment.But take note, everything that is too much is not good for everyone.
As a matter of fact, STRESS is rated as a second deadliest killer in the world because there are three diseases that influenced by stress which are: clinical depression, cardiovascular disease, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIVE). When it comes to college students, here are several hinges that cause stress to them and these are: study issues, money worries, relationship, family pressure and identity. According to www. Psychometric. Mom, the term "stressed out" is one that many college students use to describe themselves. Some students use the term so much as to render it meaningless.
When you say that you are "stressed out," what are you saying about yourself? And, more to the point, what is it about your usual coping style that just isn't working? Stress is an individual's response to the demand for change. On a college campus, you are continually bombarded with demands to change ? your behavior, your academic performance, your career or major choice, your values.Faced with these demands, you may seek to resist changing yourself while also trying to manage the stress so that it does not manage you.

Org and according to them the situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stresses. We usually think of stresses as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. However, anything that puts high demands on you or forces you to adjust can be stressful.There is a previous study entitled "Study that shows college deal with high amount of stress" and was published by Darkie Moran last February 10, 2013, and she said that there is a report that shows most college students are under high level of stress but that might not be a bad thing if students learn to use it to their advantage, experts say, More than half of college students reported above average or tremendous stress levels in the spring 2012 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment undergraduate summary, and 30 percent of students said it had a negative impact on their academic performance.
Moser said they're actually at a really stressful time in life but because the brain is plastic, there's always a chance to rewire and reboot. Moser said students' stress typically develops from a mixture of past experiences as well as genetics, and students who are predisposed to stress might not face issues with it until college. He said the brain actually works harder to complete tasks under pressure. However, if students learn to be more flexible-minded and positive, they might be able to avoid the negative impacts of stress.Viewing stress as a motivator to get work done and unconsciously making an effort to view stresses as typical bumps in the road and not the end of the world can help rewire how the brain handles stress, Moser said.
Studio art freshman Sarah Wintertime said under mounting workloads, students barely have time to sleep. She said she has pulled all-insights trying to keep up with class work, a mental strain for her.Physiology Junior Cattail McCarthy said she wasn't surprised to learn the vulnerability of college students to stress because her own levels of anxiety cause her to be fatigued or have headaches. McCarthy said using tidying as a distraction and refocusing her stress to get work done helped her pass her exams freshman year after three friends and a grandparent all died in the weeks leading up to final exams. She said now she runs and does yoga multiple times a week to lower her stress levels and keeps an hour-by-hour schedule for the week.
McCarthy said that people don't realize there are things to help with the stress. Moser said in addition, writing anxieties down in a Journal before an exam or another stressful activity, meditation and, in severe cases, therapy can help reduce the impacts of stress. There are many instruments to use in curing psychological stress of a student, you have to start it with yourself, you have to be active, take control, have some "me time", challenge yourself, avoid unhealthy habits, do volunteer work, work smarter, not harder, be positive and accept the things that you can't change.There is also ways to deal with stress, first, recognize stress, If you feel that stress is affecting your studies, a first option is to seek help through your educational counseling center, stress management, look around, set realistic goals for yourself, exercise in stress reduction, move yourself from the stressful situation, don't overwhelm yourself, selectively change the way you react, change the way you see your situation; seek alternative viewpoints, avoid extreme reactions, do something for others, get enough sleep, work off stress, avoid self-medication or escape, begin to manage the effect of stress, try to use stress, try to be positive.
