What USF Recommends to Relieve Stress

You don't have to be a slave to stress. Here's what to do.

  • Communicate! Share your feelings with others who can provide emotional support.
  • Be physically active and eat right! Exercise can help you develop and maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit, while a healthy diet can give you necessary nutrition and energy.
  • Sleep (at least seven hours) is essential to health, well-being and effectiveness.
  • Learn and use basic time management skills to maintain a healthy life balance (between work and play).
  • Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, listening to music, or reading something enjoyable.
  • Participate in a hobby or other interest, apart from your academic work.
  • Avoid strategies that are counterproductive, such as tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, or binge eating, which can lead to other problems and more stress later.
  • Talk with someone in the Counseling Center or other professional.
Great recommendations in my opinion!!
