Dealing with stress at work


Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about "Dealing with the stress at the university"


First, the definition about stress:  Stress is a term in psychology and biology, and  It refers to the consequence of the failure of an organism to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, whether actual or imagined. We all experience stress in day to day life. In small doses it keeps us energized and interested. In large doses, and if left untreated, stress may become anxiety and be harder to deal with alone.

I feel that if I have a bad grade ruin my future and this is very horrible! However some people are not affected by the terrible stress...In my opinion, to overcome stress we need to balance academic demands and the social demands of college. Socializing and being surrounded by positive people is an important aspect of overcoming stress. It helps to have real supportive people that you like a lot in your life who want you to succeed, especially during finals. There are several strategies that will help us to cope with stressful situations. First, we have to learn to manage our time wisely. Second, we have to set priorities and make the most of our opportunities as a student. Last, we have to learn to say "no".


After all, college students have a lot of stress. There's no denying it, but college is what we make of it. If we stay focused and balance our life, we'll feel much more relaxed and healthier when it's time to wear our cap and gown. Now, that's an achievement we have earned for life! =)

My opinion about "the learning"

Hi everyone! today I chose this topic "There is no time to lose as everything important about the brain is decided by the age of three"

The focal point for the biological basis of learning is the contact point between nerve cells or 'neurons' i.e. the 'synapse'. New synapses grow and develop to create neural networks with experiences of learning. Creation of neural networks is a function of 'synapse modification' or 'neuroplasticity'

The synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses. Although occurs throughout the life of a healthy person, but an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development. Synaptogenesis is particularly important during an individual's "critical period" of life, during which there is a certain degree of neuronal pruning due to competition for neural growth factors by neurons and synapses.I think that the processes that are not used, or inhibited during this critical period will fail to develop normally later on in life

 Another version, more current in Europe, is the view that very young children must be constantly stimulated in their first two to three years in order to strengthen their learning capacity for subsequent life

Personally I think that is very important and crucial are the experiences of the first three years to a child's future behavior, intelligence, and emotional health; however the brain growth continues after the age of three, and the opportunities for growth do not shut down, because he absence of experiences that will stimulate the brain can have a lasting impact...and for personal experience I know that the childrens are best able to learn a new language when they're young...

A healthy life style Is it possible? how?

Hi everyone!  Today my post is about a healthy life style... Is it possible? How ?

First Im going talk about what is the healty life style...The healthy living is about making healthy choices every day; healthy choices that keep us fit physically, mentally and spiritually. Eating well, being physically active and not smoking are three of the best things we can do to stay healthy. By staying healthy we can help prevent chronic diseases and reduce our risk of becoming ill or seriously injured. Many factors affect the health as family history, gender, culture, education, employment, income, the environment, our coping skills and social support networks. As individuals and groups, there are many things we can do to positively influence our physical, mental, social and spiritual health and well-being.

Living healthier is a personal choice, but everyone has a role to play. Individuals, families, communities, governments and other organizations can work together to create environments and conditions that support healthy living. Some examples include creating smoke-free public spaces ( the tabacco use is the most important preventable cause of death, because this causes cancers of the lung, mouth, lip, tongue, esophagus, kidney, and bladder), making nutritious foods easily accessible or developing communities and buildings that promote physical activity.

 Today's children are less healthy than their forbears. Tooth decay is on the increase, as is obesity. Both are believed to be a direct result of eating too much sugar, salt and fat. These are found typically in the many processed snack foods which children eat regularly. A poor childhood diet increases the risk of chronic illnesses!!

The healthy life style is  possible but is a society rol, because it is a societal problem:

The regular exercise can prevent and reverse age-related decreases in muscle mass and strength, can help increase self-esteem and self-confidence, decrease stress and anxiety, enhance mood, and improve general mental health,  can help control weight gain. This is very important and impresindible for the consequences...the physical inactivity and lack of exercise are associated with heart disease and some cancers, with diabetes and contribute to weight gain.

The solution is in our hands!
