Friday Focus: Celebrating small successes to combat stress
November 08, 2024
This week (Nov. 4-8) is International Stress Awareness Week. As I reflected on the semester so far, messages about stress awareness popped up on my news feed and I paused to think about how stress impacts our lives. Over the past few weeks, I noticed an uptick in the number of students and colleagues talking about how they felt stressed, or burned out, or simply that their energy level was low. Submitting assignments, grading papers, meeting proposal deadlines, attending to student needs, keeping the campus safe, mentoring students, balancing professional and personal needs, the pressure of a never-ending to-do list, and the feeling of insufficient progress were just a few of the reasons I heard. The lengthening darkness of Interior 草榴社区, this particular phase of the academic cycle, and for some, the approaching festive season likely brought on or heightened this stress-induced fatigue. However, it is an unavoidable fact that we will all experience stress to different degrees, at different times, and with different frequencies throughout our lives.
