Brain Waves



Sail Through the Semester with these Stress Reduction Techniques

Challenges are abound in college, especially with the start of the semester. Simple and effective techniques for stress reduction include the following: 
  • Walking daily for 30 - 40 minutes is very effective for restoring balance to the mind and body. 
  • Sports such as tennis and ping pong bring in a terrific mind-body connection to the exercise. One has to continually compute the speed of the ball coming at you and then how to strike the ball to hit the target location. 
  • Listening to relaxing music (we like classical or Hawaiian music) offers relief from stress.
