我们的哲学
The Center for Student Wellness defines stress as the way we respond to and interact with our environment or an event that happens; how we perceive a situation. We focus on understanding what stress is , 压力是如何影响我们的, and ways we can develop positive coping strategies; knowing over 80% of college students report experiencing high levels of stress. We acknowledge that people of different races, 能力, 性取向, 性别, and other marginalized individuals experience stress in different ways. There can be stressors that are chronic, 急性, and happen through the ripple effect; can be personal or non-personal struggles; or triggered by daily hassles. We believe personal stress can be named and managed. We do this by being mindful, identifying negative thought patterns, and practicing positive self-talk to get us through challenges.

名称:
Perhaps you are feeling stressed because you are trying to fit 20 hours of work into a 16 hour day (after getting your 8 hours of sleep!). This is the classic stress equation - people are faced with too many demands and too little time. Take a step back and examine your calendar using 该工作表. Are the things you do every week necessary? Do they bring you joy and purpose? Perhaps there are things that you could cut out or ask for help with that you didn’t realize before. Try to eliminate one thing this week that isn’t truly fulfilling for you. This will minimize potential stressors and make it more likely that you will be able to meet your demands.
为它做计划:
What actions have you been putting off because you’re worried about what might happen? Time to conquer your fears. Read this article and complete the fear-setting worksheet. In the ‘Define’ column list out some of your biggest worries at the moment. In the ‘Prevent’’ column, write out what you might be able to do to prevent each thing from happening. In the ‘Repair’ column brainstorm things you could do to fix it if your worry came true.
Reframe it:
Since stress is a perception, we can perceive it as a threat or challenge. Turn a stressor or problem into a challenge: pick something that’s causing you stress and ask yourself how you can change the way you think about it. Read the common thought traps and identify where you may be getting stuck. How can you approach your stressor as a challenge/opportunity to learn and grow? What would you do differently? 把它写下来. 感觉创意? Use sticky notes to write down your reframed thoughts. Post them around your room in places you will see them everyday.
