An Effective Way To Fight Stress
To manage end-of-semester stress, let's focus on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a technique proven effective for university students. Use it whenever you feel stressed out.
Set aside 15 minutes.
Choose a quiet, comfortable spot.
Start with deep breathing.
Focus on slow, deep breaths for 2 minutes.
Engage in a body scan.
Mentally scan your body for tension, relaxing each part.
Reflect on your day mindfully.
Spend 5 minutes thinking about your day's events non-judgmentally.
The Science Behind The Hack
A study conducted on university students revealed that a 12-week MBST (Mindfulness-Based Student Training), which includes elements of MBSR, led to significant reductions in stress.
This training involved weekly 90-minute sessions along with daily at-home mindfulness exercises. Participants reported improved emotion regulation, awareness, and overall quality of life, beneficial for handling the high demands of university life.
