Milestone For Tutors999
As part of our continuous effort to serve our partners in education, Tutors999.com is pleased to announce that we are starting a compilation of online resources for teachers, parents and students. We will cover a wide range of subjects. So regardless of whether you're an educator looking for lesson plans, a student fishing for study skills, a parent yearning for parenting tips or just an individual engaging in life-long learning, we hope that the resources we are going to put up will value-add to your learning.
To kick-start the sharing, we are going to discuss an issue that affects almost every one of us - STRESS.
To deal with stress, you must first recognise stress. Stress symptoms include mental, social and physical manifestation. Some symptoms include feeling tired or frustrated easily, loss of or increased appetite, insomnia, crying, depression and headaches.
Some of the stress management strategies include :
Setting realistic goals : Set appropriate expectation and be willing to accept less than the best.
Removing yourself from the stressful situation : Give yourself a break and do something that you enjoy daily, even if it's for a few minutes.
Relaxing yourself : Meditation, physical exercises and breathing exercises have been proven to be effective in controlling stress.
Prioritising what you need to do : Focus on the really important things and let the rest go. Change the way you see things and don't sweat the small stuff.
Resting well : Getting enough sleep lowers the stress level.
Being positive : A certain amount of stress is beneficial. Stress can actually help memory, provided it is short-term and not severe. Stress causes more glucose to be delivered to the brain, which makes more energy available to the neurons. This, in turn, enhances memory formation and retrieval.
If stress is putting you in an unmanageable state or interfering with your schoolwork, social or work life, do seek professional help immediately.
We will continue to share with you how to help your child cope with study stress in future postings. So, keep a lookout for our future postings.
