How To Combat Anxiety Among Students Is The Workings Of Applied Positive Psychology

By Gregory Myers


It is easy to see that the future of our country lies in the hands of the youth. However, this can be hard to accept when you find out that so many students are spending their time stressing unnecessarily, and bringing about anxiety. The time they spend in college is meant to be a joyful experience and not one that is filled with sorrow. Help in the form of applied positive psychology becomes a survival necessity.

If you are someone that is trying to deal with anxiety and struggling to find a way to pass it, you may want follow a few simple steps. Firstly, it is important to watch what you eat. The stuff that one consumes has immediate and sometimes severe effects on your body. If you have something that your body rejects, you can quite sick or you can become unhealthy and not even know it. When you change this habit, you will start to feel better and this will also improve your mental state.

Social media is the biggest attraction and these days, if you don't have it, it is easy to look down on you. The internet allows for many access points and for students specifically, you can study and also keep in touch with everyone at the same time. The downfall to this is that when you spend too much time on it, you can easily become zombie-like and depending on what you see online, you can easily start to feel a sense of depression.

The tendency is that if you feel anxious, you will question everything that you need to do. It is a sense of paranoia that takes over your mind and body. The best way to combat this is to just go ahead and do it. You will find that you immediately feel a sense of relief. And once it is over, there was no reason to stress in the first place.

A great exercise is to learn is how to control breathing. When you do this, you are basically taking a step back and telling yourself to calm down and relax. It's almost like a mantra that you can use in situations to get your mind and your body to become one again. This is not a bad idea to learn with other people who are going through similar circumstances.

The other option is to speak to your doctor. Most people take this route when everything else that they tried doesn't work. It is not a bad step however, it means that they will expect you to see a psychologist. And when this happens, you may have to be on some type of treatment, which isn't great if you are not an extreme case.

The aim is that as young people shouldn't be on medication. The point of being in college is to study and spend less time worrying over mental issues. This is why you need to try as hard as possible to explore other methods so that you can say that you have tried and as a last resort, see a doctor.

You need to open yourself to exploring other ways to try and combat it by yourself and only thereafter, if you find that nothing works, then you see a GP. Don't ever feel that you need to blame yourself for something that is not your fault. These conditions are unavoidable but what you do afterwards, is completely up to you.
