stressed out

The way people deal with stress is something that is different from person to person. People can have the same coping techniques, like for me personally I use working out, and today at the gym I asked someone I work out if they use it as a coping technique for stress. It just relaxes me and relieves stress and anger. It’s almost like a safe place for me to go. For whatever I have going on, stress related or not. When I worked during the school year I would go to school then work so I wouldn’t get out till about 5. Then I would go to work out when I was done. Then sometimes when I would miss it, I wouldn’t feel right, like I didn’t have time to relax in my day. But now that I’m at school I’ve been using music to relax me. It also helps me when I have to do homework makes me concentrate more. So I’ve been using music as a productivity tool. It also keeps me awake cause I’ll sing to it sometime, so I wont doze off during homework. Another thing that’s been working for me great is I’ll go outside and throw the football around in the quad. Football was always a stress reliever that’s why I loved playing it in high school. Anytime I was upset I always had football after school and it gave me a time every day to clear my head and relieve anything I had on my mind. So I have a good amount of things I can do to relieve myself of stress here at school. So I haven’t been stressed out at school which is good because the load of college hanging over you head is enough to make you go crazy and be stressed out.
