MEntal Stress
Stress Management Stress of all kinds can prevent students from achieving their optimal performances. Mental stress will be the area that I will be discussing. Mental stress can cause lack of focus and an inability to concentrate. I have broken down mental stress into three categories, concept shifting, unrealistic expectations, and challenges to attention. Concept shifting occurs when we have to change our focus or shift our attention too frequently, forcing the brain constantly to shift from one subject to another which causes stress. ... To minimize this type of stress, try to organize your schedule so that concept shifting is kept to a minimum. ... Unrealistic expectations can also cause mental stress.
