Practice stress management to maintain a sense of well-being and balance during your studies. • Assess your level of stress. Identify and anticipate what is causing your stress (your “stressors”). • Use stress prevention techniques. Some of these include the following. ∘ Manage your time wisely. Some tips for time management are given in the Chapter 3 Summary. ∘ Treat your body right. Try to include rest, relaxation, exercise, and eating healthy meals in your daily routine. Limit caffeine or alcohol products. ∘ Spend time to get a perspective on your life. Use positive and reassuring self-talk. • Address early warning signs of stress. Do not hesitate to seek help. This could include scheduling tutoring sessions. For more information, visit Skills for Success in the accompanying MyLab course.
