6 Ways to Reduce Stress and Anxiety in College

Anxiety in College

Most people think that stress and anxiety are synonymous with college. Just mention college and people start to tense up. However, college doesn’t need to be that stressful. In fact, there are a number of things you can do to help not only reduce stress but also prevent it. The key, or the secret, to reducing stress and anxiety is to get outside of yourself and compartmentalize. Once you can do that, there are a number of activities you can do to do make sure stress and anxiety don’t take over your life.

Here are five ways to reduce stress and anxiety in college.

  1. Get Plenty of Exercises

Exercise is critical for the sake of cutting fat and regulating your metabolism, but it is also important for reducing stress and anxiety. When you get your blood pumping, you are releasing dopamine and serotonin, which are essential for mood regulation. Part of the reason why you are so stressed and anxious is that a hormone called cortisone is being released through your body. Exercise can combat this hormone and keep your spirits high.

  1. Leave Campus and Get Some Fresh Air

If you live near a hiking trail, or anywhere near nature, you may want to take an afternoon off and explore. When you do, make sure to turn off your phone. The key is to not have any distractions. When you go out into nature, you want to try and not think about school. Doing this will help you refresh and reset. If you don’t live near nature or a hiking trail, you may want to visit a park and take in the clean air.

  1. Purchase a Notebook and Get Creative

Another way to reduce stress and anxiety is to get creative. Studies have shown that getting creative is an essential way to reduce depression and symptoms of anxiety. Even if you are not an artist, you want to grab a notebook and doodle. Just the act of doodling will put your mind in a meditative state. In fact, just looking at art has been shown to reduce anxiety, so you may even want to visit a gallery or museum near you.

  1. Take a Trip

If you have the time and the money, you may want to take a trip somewhere. Even if you get in your car and drive, just changing your scenery from your dorm room to the open highway can help you reset. Even if you only go an hour away from your campus, you can still get the benefits from a short road trip.

  1. Get a Meditation Application for Your Phone

On top of everything, you may want to think about downloading a meditation app on your phone. These meditation apps can guide you on breathing and even some yoga positions. When you control your breathing and take deep inhalations and exhalations, you will notice your stress slowly melting away. In fact, there are even some college programs, that will teach this practice. In the end, many of these apps are free and easy to use, which is perfect for broke college students.

6. Socialize

Sometimes, all you need is to be surrounded with people that will make you forget your problems even just for awhile. Hit up your friends to simply hangout and play games. You can do a movie night with popcorn alongside, play card games, or up your game by doing some spoof calls with your closed friends who weren’t able to come to your small get-together. This is a classic act that will definitely turn your stress into burst of laughter.

5 Tips to Avoid Bed Bugs

Avoid Bed Bugs

If you have been working with pest control to try and make sure that your bed bugs stay away, you know how much of a pain that it can be to deal with them. That being said, what have you been doing to avoid bed bugs? How can you make sure that they go away for good?

Here are some tips that you can go ahead and try out for yourself.

  1. If you have a new bed, or you’re in a hotel, make sure that you look around with a flashlight to try and see them and/or the fecal matter that they leave behind on the bed at times. That way, you can know whether or not they are there and, on top of that, ensure that you’re going to prevent the spread to other places in your home if you catch them early on.
  2. One of the most common places that we get bed bugs is from traveling. We pick them up at hotels, campgrounds, and other various places. Make sure that you put your suitcases on hard surfaces (no chairs with upholstery or carpets), and always clean and vacuum everything out when you get back to your home. That’ll get rid of any eggs that may have been laid and will also prevent several issues from becoming that much worse for you to deal with.
  3. Our furry friends can also pose a unique problem when it comes to dealing with bedbugs. Keep their fur as clean as you possibly can so that they don’t’ attract bedbugs or other critters that can get into your home and cause problems to the people who live in it. On top of that, make sure that you check out the places that they sleep to see if they have left any traces of bedbugs so that you can take care of the problem before they go to the other beds in the home.
  4. Be sure that you are constantly cleaning your sheets and other things on your bed. If you let them sit too long, then they become a very inviting place for pests and you will end up with an even bigger bedbug problem than you dealt within the first place.
  5. If you suspect you have bedbugs, make sure that you get someone in right away to try and deal with them and, on top of that, be sure that you clean them out quickly so that your problems don’t become even bigger in the end.

Conclusions

In short, it’s all about prevention. If you aren’t taking care of things properly, you could end up in a situation where it is more difficult for you to deal with than you thought it would be. Contact your local pest control to get more information about your options and to get started with whatever it is that you may need to feel confident that the bed bugs are gone.
