Five School Stress-Busting Tips

No matter where you are in the school journey, these tips can help you cope with and manage the stress
that comes along with it.

Get Plenty of Sleep

Not getting enough sleep impairs academic performance and makes it harder to get through the day.

Think Positive

Research has shown that positive thinking may improve physical well-being, produce lower feelings of depression and produce lower levels of distress.

Have a Stress “Outlet”

This could be a social activity like going out or participating in intramural sports, finding a hobby or joining a social club.

Engage In Relaxation Techniques

This can include things like slowly counting to ten, meditation, thinking positive thoughts, visualization or playing with a stress ball. We have an on-demand webinar covering Back to School Anxiety, including some coping skill techniques.

Talk to Someone

Sometimes just talking about what’s stressful or having someone listen to your problems can drastically reduce stress. Peace River Center has a free, 24-hour Crisis Line, 863.519.3744 that is always available whether you’re experiencing test anxiety, are missing home, or feel depressed. We are always just a call away.
