Workshop: Stressin' Out 10/27

Today I went with Bryan Le to a workshop at the Health Center. The workshop was about stressing out and how to relieve stress. Stress is "a specific response by the body to a stimulus, as fear or pain, that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism." Some symptoms: Over eating or eating very little, depression, sleep problems, skin disease, heart disease, etc. We learned ways to relieve stress such as meditating and breathing in and out while tightening your muscles. Some other ways to relieve stress are: listening to music, acupuncture, time management, and workouts. It was a good workshop to attend and I will gladly use some of the techniques we learned.
