El While r igin the MS A& (rowing £ ieshing. . The Te> .oming ofi me to gn This sp Tolar Bea jke Som in tl Health Tips Reduce negative stress 26 therapeutic ways By PEGGY C. PHILPOT Special to The Battalion Many students at A&M have recently experienced stress dur ing the week of finals. To handle the problems asso ciated with a busy summer schedule and upcoming finals, students should first identify what causes the stress, decide if it is good or bad, then reduce it. Stress can be caused by happy events, such as a new relation ship or a vacation, as well as un happy ones such as final exams or bounced checks. The accumu lation of minor hassles, such as long lines and wrong numbers, can be stressful. A small amount of stress in life may help some students ac complish their goals. For in stance, if a student received an A on their last exam they will have positive stress to help them study for their next exam. The positive stress may actually improve the student's chances of receiving an other good grade. Negative stress, howeVer, focuses the stu dent's thoughts only on bad oc currences, such as a failing grade, and does not allow them to con centrate properly for their next exam, thereby leading them clos er to their failure. When allowed to develop, stress may gradually lead to chronic headaches, high blood pressure, backaches, loss of ap petite, constant fatigue, ulcers and depression. In fact, some physicians believe that 90 percent of all illnesses are stress-related. Stress is an everyday fact of life. Students can't avoid it, but they can deal with it. The Health Center offers sev eral tips to avoid stress. Students should participate in activities such as taking walks, calling par ents, taking a five minute break, taking a hot tub break, hugging someone, getting a quick mas sage, talking about it, watching a few cartoons, breathing deeply, smiling at a stranger, cry, doing a crossword puzzle, eating a healthy meal, taking a quick nap, going for a swim, finding a quiet place to be alone, taking a hot bath, thinking about a far off place, going for a bike ride, try ing rollerblading, catching a movie, listening to some music, writing a letter, stop drinking caffeine, making a daily "to-do" list and checking them off as you do them and finally, students should ask themselves, "does it really matter?" Most of the time it doesn't. These tips can help some stu dents to relieve stress. For seri ous stress problems, students should contact Student Counsel ing Services,,visit the Health Ed ucation Center, located in Room 016 of the A.P. Beutel Health Center or call S45-1341 for gener al information about stress and other health concerns. _ shanghai ^ 1T>^ CHINESE RESTAURANT ^ * ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET With over 35 items to choose from $425 11 A.M. to 9 P.M. $5 25 Lunch Dinner Eggroll with order of dinner plate Beer on Tap 50 with order of any buffet or dinner plate 693-0052 52" Large-screen cable TV 1037 S.
