Stress Update

Last week i chose two ways to deal with stress and got one assigned from the teacher. my results were pretty much more positive in terms of less stress during the day. Although stressful situations occur a lot around me the stress dealing activities are doing their jobs:
-To Do & Reminder page (procrastination)= actually helping, i keep track of my assignments and always find time to do them without making long hours or prolonged homework sessions
-Eat right (happy stomach -> happy health-> happy me)= Don't feel much difference but definitively make me less worried about me getting fatter and the feeling of guilt is gone
-Find Ways To Distract Myself (stay away from stress for a while)= Great actually spend more time with my friends laughing and having a good time instead of sitting on a corner and whine about my life and hitting walls because of anger...

the stress reduction process is actually working and i think there are many other ways to improve the living of students and also to improve the academic performance of them.

Stress And Hormones

The two types of stress come in short term and long term.
Short term stress basically is what triggers fight or flight and quick response its effect is short depending on the situation.
Long term stress is more of a problem because it involves weakening of important body parts and function such as the immune system and the brain weakening the immune and causing injury to the brain.


my goals for stress reduction would be: * drum-roll*
-find ways to relax.. (i have never used any kind of drugs and never will)
-eat right
