Grinberg Maya Comm 201 Actuate Outline Title: Take a CHILL PILL! General Subject: Leisure time Specific Subject: College Students Need to Manage their Stress and Can do so by Engaging in More Leisure Activities. Purpose: To entice my audience into planning more leisure activities into their schedules, because leisure activities have been proven to decrease stress. Organization Pattern: Problem Solution Main Points: I. College Students are extremely stressed out. II. Research [...] has shown that leisure activities help decrease perceived stress levels. III. Several easy steps to incorporating leisure activities into a regular schedule to help fight stress and anxiety caused by academic expectations. Central Idea: Since research shows that college students are reporting increasing levels of stress due to the academic pressures of everyday life, we as college students need to employ proven stress relieving methods such as the incorporation of leisure activities into our daily schedules to find relief for our anxiety. Introduction: Allow me to recite few statements. As I speak, I would like for you all to raise your hands when you believe that you have thought a similar statement in the past month. "I have two prelims in the same week, and they are both gonna suck. My paper is due in four days and I don't have a thesis yet. I have no idea what I'm going to do my final project on. I have a slacker in my group and I'm afraid he won't pull his weight on the assignment. I've got NO IDEA what to do my actuate speech on. I am extremely stressed out. I need a break." I noticed that a lot of you raised your hands more than once. That' s alright, typical even. According to the American Academy of Stress, more than 73% of college students report feeling stress as a result of academic expectations (Pathos-- emotional appeal, comparison of self to subject of speech). You might think a little stress isn't a big deal--but it is. The more stress a human being is forced to endure, the more havoc it wreaks on his/her immune system, causing all sorts of troubles down the road. There's no reason to panic though, the relief of our stress doesn't have to be treated by strait-jackets or medication. We can help ourselves by doing something we wouldn't normally expect would be such a remedying solution: Chilling out! Research shows that the insertion of leisure activities into ones schedule greatly reduces the effects of stress on the body and mind. Today I am going to tell you about just how badly college students are affected by stress and anxiety, what can be done to decrease these levels of pressure. Finally, I'll go through several things YOU can do to ease your way into a less crazed, more contented academic career. Body: I. College Students are extremely stressed out. a. Stress is a physical and psychological reaction to issues and events emanating from one's environment. i. Its easy to see how we might be affected by this little word: there's pressure from mom and dad to make them proud, pressure from your professors to beat the class average on the next prelim, pressure from your advisor telling you you have to step it up if you want your application to this grad school/this internship/ this entry level job to stand out from the others. ii. In stressing out about trying to succeed in school, you might actually be impeding your own abilities: the American College Health Association cites stress as the number-one impediment to academic performance in its national college health assessment. iii. As of today, there is no drug that eradicates the symptoms caused by stress, no vaccine that prevents them. iv. Stress manifests in a variety of ways--some uglier than others-- and affects each person differently. "Stress can't be eliminated, only mitigated," says Dr. Mark Stevens, a psychologist at the counseling center at USC. b. The first step in handling stress is learning to recognize it. i. Melissa Kenzig, Director of Health Promotions and Communication at health services at Columbia University, suggests looking for changes in behavior--specifically changes in eating habits and sleeping patterns. ii. But she warns that stress is not always manifested physically. "Some people will be affected mentally," she says. "They will be distracted and have a hard time concentrating." iii. Once the stress is acknowledged, the student can then work on understanding where it's coming from and then how to disarm it. c. In an academic environment like our big red pressure cooker, strain to succeed is an obvious stressor, or stress causing factor, but we students need to take a critical look at all of the factors that can contribute to our sometimes frazzled state. i. Melissa Kenzig recommends taking the time to step back and examine each area of our lives--academics, family life, and social life. ii. Stuff like the boyfriend or girlfriend not taking your calls, or the teacher who discounted your claim in front of the entire class, those are both equally valid and weighty sources of stress. iii. However, did you know that there could be good stress too? iv. Good stress is the feeling we get when we're minutes away from a first date or about to run a marathon after months of training. v. In our minds, Good stress, called "eustress" is often lumped in with bad stress, called "distress". vi. It's important to recognize that while eustress is an essential motivator--it acts like the extra added umph to get going and do what's on your mind--it can add to the overall pressure that a student experiences. d. Once students realize that they are stressed, prompt treatment is essential for overall health and productivity. i. Support groups and counseling centers will work with students to come up with a plan to decrease the stress in their lives and to help them see where they are unknowingly increasing their stress. ii. Dr. Stevens suggests that stressed students examine their lifestyles to see if they are consuming too much caffeine and/or alcohol or not getting sleep enough or exercise as these factors contribute directly to stress levels. iii. Students who are always run down or fighting a cold should take the time to consider the role that stress plays on their physical health. iv. "Students often wait until they can't explain away the symptoms," says Dr. Stevens. "Start to pay attention to what your body is telling you and think of it as a reaction to stress." Transition: However, I can understand if some of you have an addiction and wont cut down on your caffeine consumption. And I can understand that the thought of counseling and professional help sound like a bit much, because they do to me too. So lets talk about something really easy and simple that you can do to decrease your levels of stress, thus bettering your physical and mental health without any drastic measures. II. Research by the American Council of Stress, as well as many other sources like The Princeton Review and the American Academy of Family Physicians has shown that leisure activities help decrease perceived stress levels. a. So now we know that our minds and bodies are integrated, especially when it comes to stress. i. It is no secret that psychological stress and physical illness are related. ii. Stress triggers physiological and chemical changes in the body. iii. Physical illness is commonly accompanied with increased stress. iv. Thus, as we learn to manage stress we need to address physical as well as psychological factors. v. As you consider the following tips from a universal campus health website called Campus Blues, keep in mind that maintaining a balance between your intellectual, social and personal development is the key to a well adjusted college experience, minus the stress. b. Leisure activities are the perfect solution to the problem we're having regarding addressing our physical and psychological needs. i. Leisure is defined in the Merriam Webster Dictionary as freedom provided by the cessation of activities; especially time free from work or duties ii. Some professional tips on ideal college student leisure activities provided by Campus Blues include: iii. Adding a physical workout to your schedule at least a few times a week. iv. Keep in mind; you do not need to be gifted athletically to accomplish this. v. You can jog, power walk, use stepper, rowing or biking machines, swim or any other form of exercise. vi. I personally enjoy walking through the campus, in the dark, with my headphones on blasting. The fresh air, my brisk pace, and the emptiness of the quad make me feel like a million bucks, and not at all weird for walking around by myself at night. vii. As for psychological leisure, you can do anything--and I certainly mean anything that makes you feel happy. viii. For instance, when I have a break from assignments, I love vegging out in front of downloaded tv series, sometimes watching more than 2 or 3 episodes at a time. Sure, I look like a bug-eyed zombie when I finally emerge from my television viewing splendor, but truly, it's a small price to pay for my immense contentment afterwards. Transition: III. Several easy steps to incorporating leisure activities into a regular schedule to help fight stress and anxiety caused by academic expectations. a. Some professional tips on ideal colleges tudents leisure activities include" i. Adding a physical workout to your schedule at least a few times a week ii. Keep in mind, you don't need to be athletically gifted in order to get this accomplished iii. You can jog, power walk, use a stepper, row or bike machine, swim, or anything else tgar wull speed your pulse up for a change iv. I personally enjoy walking through the campus, in the dark, with my headphones on blast. The fresh air, my brisk pace, and the emptiness of the quad somehow combine together to make me feel exhilarated, and not at all weird for walking around by myself at night (ethos). v. As for psychological leisure, you can do anything--and I certainly mean anything that makes you feel happy. vi. For instance, when I have a break from my assignmnents, I love vegging out in front of my laptop with downloaded tv series-- sometimes I watch more than 2 or 3 episodes at a time. Sure, I might look like a bug eyed zombie when emerging from my television viewing splendor, but its truly a small price to pay for the intense contentment I feel afterwards (ethos). vii. Other personal favorites of mine include reading a book for pleasure (ethos) viii. And how could I forget about eating (ethos)? b. So here's what you need to do: i. If you have ever felt stress before, you're likely to be plagued by it again. ii. But why let it bother you? You now know some effective and simple, even enjoyable ways to combat this pressure pain in the butt. iii. So next time you feel the strain building up, do yourself a favor. iv. First, stop whatever it is you're doing and calm the heck down. v. Take a walk, whip out a magazine, munch on a cookie, call a friend, go for a swim, and watch a show. I could go on forever, but you're all very smart, and get the drill. vi. Now, when you get back to doing whatever it was you had to do, you'll notice an increase in energy and a better attitude. Conclusion: According to a USF study don't on students who reported actively attempting to relieve their stress in various ways; your lessened strain will often lead to better grades and a better general attitude about school. Who would've thought that a little bit of a good time could go such a long way? So remember, everyone, don't let academic expectations hound you so much--you could stop sleeping well, get sick, and perform poorly (pathos). In fact, don't let these pressures hound you at all anymore! As soon as you start to feel even a bit of anxiety over that next paper, test, presentation, or even SPEECH ( although we all know there's no reason to get anxious over a speech) just ((((Take a chill pill)))) Such small leisurely pockets of time taken out of our driven lives make a world of difference!
