Stress Free


Stress is a feeling created when we react to certain events, which are preparing the body to meet a tough situation. Stress a feeling well known to all people around the world, whether it is because of work, cannot do something you want, etc. Students in TEC feel stress 24/7, because of homework, quizzes, partial exams, final projects, etc. All this is very hard work homework never stop coming in is something we have every single day; partial exams are evaluations of what we have seen through the whole month and the last one is the evaluation of the whole semester, imagine having to study for an exam that contains information of 4 months, it’s a lot of information which causes pressure which causes stress.



Some signs that you have stress are: anxiety or panic attacks, feeling constantly pressured, stomach problems, headaches, chest pain, problems sleeping (which is the most common symptom), depression, drinking to much (believe it or not) , overeating


and other people just get very angry.



There are also ways in which you can avoid being stressed and when stressed become relaxed: getting a good night’s sleep, do not overscheduled (too much things in your agenda can provoke pressure), learn to relax by breathing slowly, exercise, be optimist.



As we can see we live stress every day of our lives, but there are also ways in which we can prevent it and help ourselves relax. Live your life stress free.
