Get Rid of Stress Caused by Schoolwork

Has schoolwork ever stressed you out?

Do you find yourself loosing sleep and precious time over worrying about school?

Sometimes when we get stressed we lose focus on getting the work done and devote our time towards procrastinating instead.

Then, more and more work adds up and we become even more overwhelmed! With these steps overcoming stress caused by schoolwork can be achieved.

Steps

 * 1) To start off, why do we get stressed and why does getting stressed out prevent us from getting work done? As humans we are pretty much capable of achieving anything we put our minds to, but why? If  we want something a lot, and if you feel like accomplishing something because of the benefits and rewards it leads to, then you as sure as heck going to do it.  The reason you’re stressed is because you have too much work to do all at once, whether you put it off, got sick, or etc. and so you think you’re overwhelmed, which means you feel overwhelmed. Step one is to get rid of that mentality! Throw it in the trash, shred it up, burn it, just stop thinking that you can’t do it. As we established above, people (that means you) can achieve anything they put their minds to. Believing you can’t do it will only lead to more stress, and the more stress you feel the more you will think you are not capable of doing it.
 * 2) Now that we believe we can do anything, we need to change our mentality of schoolwork. What is schoolwork to you? Is it dumb, pointless, worthless, a waste of time, boring? If schoolwork has any negative feeling or attitude behind it, YOU ARE not going to want to do it. Why, well it has no significant meaning or value to it to motivate you to get it done. The second step is to change your perception of school, start thinking you like school, you like homework, you enjoy your math class, and soon enough you’ll find yourself appreciating school. Create a list of all the benefits that completing schoolwork will give you, and if you can’t think of any make some up.
 * 3) The third and final step is, just do it. Now that you have a positive outlook, you believe you can do it and you actually want to do it, go ahead and start. Nothing can stop you, and if you don’t understand something or just really need help, ask for help! So many people could avoid stress if they just asked for help, it will save you time and don’t think you are dumb needing assistance, your teachers had to learn it all too. Go ahead and start your stress free school life! Have fun and love learning, best hopes.
