                      STRESS MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

              Whether you are facing good stress or bad stress, it is important to learn some stress management techniques to
              minimise the negative impact on mind and body.

              Some of the good stress management techniques are:
              Time Management

              When you feel that there is too much to do and not enough time then, you
              start getting panic attacks, lose focus and make errors in your work. Good
              Time Management techniques will help you prioritise your task and manage
              your commitments. Make a list of the work in terms of urgent, important,
              and not important. This will put you in control of your situation and help you
              increase your productivity.


              In academic life, keeping your notes organised, finishing assignments on time, and tracking deadlines can help reduce
              stress.


                                                   Physical Exercise and Fresh Air

                                                   Physical Exercise in the fresh air increases the flow of blood and oxygen in
                                                   the body. This will help in releasing good hormones, and will make a healthy
                                                   mind and body. It can be in the form of going out for a walk, being physically
                                                   active at home by helping with household chores, walking uphill, jogging, or
                                                   running, aerobics, etc.



              Meditation

              Meditation is an age-old practice that produces a deep state of relaxation and
              helps you focus on one thought and clear the others. It works to reverse the
              effects of stress by providing rejuvenation and repair of the mind and body.
              Thus, preventing further damage from the physical effects of stress.
