Stress Management 101

Stop STRESSING Out!

We all have stress sometimes. What causes stress for you may not be stressful for someone else. Sometimes stress is helpful – it can encourage you to meet a deadline or get things done. But long-term stress can increase the risk of diseases like depression, heart disease and a variety of other problems. The best way to deal with stress is to learn various reduction techniques and to use the one the works best for you.


Have you been stressed out lately? Need to relax? Want a free chair massage or to make your own stress ball? Well, come to Stop STRESSING Out, part of the Wellness Wednesdays Program Series, on Wednesday Dec. 7th from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm in Campus Center 148. Nancy Barton, a faculty member from the Physical Education Department, will be presenting on stress management and how to reduce your stress.

Free chair massages will be available at the Wellness Wednesday information table from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm . Participants will also have the opportunity to make their own stress ball at the evening program.
