Time management and Stress

Time management

Time management can be something very difficult to master, especially as a college student who is trying to balance their studies, work, a social like, and time with family.

Don't sit down and wait for opportunities to come. Get up and make them.

Stress

According to research, university students are at high risk for depression, suicidal ideations, and suicide (Cukrowicz, 2012)

There is even an 86% withdrawal rate for students with mental health problems (Reavley, 2012).

Exercise has been found to be a potent treatment to help treat stress and mental health struggles.

Here are the six dimensions of well being that you can use to cope with stress

Self- acceptance (positive views of oneself)
Positive relation to others (trusting, caring, and empathetic relationships)
Autonomy (self determined with intrinsic motivation and self referenced standards)
Environmental mastery (effective mastery of the environment to fulfill personal values)
Personal growth (sense of development and self-fulfillment over time)
Purpose on life (dedicated toward purposeful goals for living)
