This presentation discusses managing workplace stress. It begins by defining stress and noting that both positive and negative stressors exist. Positive stressors include things like promotions while negative stressors include illness, death of a loved one, or relationship conflicts. Common causes of stress are then listed as family problems, financial matters, illness, lack of time, relationships, and grades. The effects of stress on the body, thoughts/feelings, and behaviors are described. Specific issues college students face that can cause stress are then examined, followed by various suggestions for reducing and managing stress such as exercise, relaxation techniques, humor, and meditation.

5. What Is Stress?
 The subject of stress has become a
common topic of conversation. We say
we feel "burned out," stressed out,
overwhelmed, angry, irritable,
depressed, anxious, and on the
verge of "losing it.“
 Stress adds flavor, challenge and
opportunity to life. Without stress, life could
become quite dull and unexciting.

12. Stress and College Students
 College life can be very stressful.
 Sometimes parents, faculty and others
tend to idealize their college experience
 The competition for grades, the need to
perform, relationships, fear of drugs,
career choice, and many other aspects of
the college environment cause stress.
Student life is exciting.
But it can also be very pressured and stressful. A lot has to be
achieved in the limited time available.

Do meditation
Take a Breather From Stress*
 Sit in a comfortable position.
 Close your eyes.
 Deeply relax all your muscles and keep them relaxed.
 Breathe through your nose. Become aware of your breathing
and as you breathe out, repeat a word (such as "one") silently
to yourself. Keep distracting thoughts from interfering by
concentrating on repeating the word.
 Continue for ten or twenty minutes.
 When you are done, do not stand up immediately, but sit
with your eyes open for a few minutes.

20. Relaxation Exercises
 Deep Breathing When we feel stressed, it is common for our rate of
breathing to increase. We also tend to breath in a shallow manner, more highly
in our chest. A deep breathing exercise allows us to take fuller, slower breaths
that reflect a true relaxed state.
