Stress can be a good thing
Having undergone stress in college herself, Professor Glidewill has used her experiences, failures, and successes, to develop several techniques that really helped her and her stressors. She started sharing these techniques with her students. The more she shared her tips, the more her students wanted which led to the creation of the “Stress Corner” in all of her courses. Laura Glidewill directs everyone to this Stress Corner.
Laura Glidewell states in her book, “I do not believe your college experience should be about just barely surviving, but rather thriving! The approach I present here, that I use with my students, can work at all stages of your life. I call it the WEIGHT LIFTED Approach. As you read this, you may find that some of the concepts are familiar. That is because they are proven to work!
She goes on to say, “Some concepts may be completely new to you and help you grow. Some things may work for you, some may not work, and that is ok. One thing, though, about this book is that it works best if you take a few minutes to do the reflection questions for each chapter. That is where the growth happens when you can immediately apply this knowledge to your life today. It is my sincere goal that this book will start you on a path to change your life. Using my Stress Weight Scale and WEIGHT LIFTED Approach, you will be able to feel less stressed on a daily basis.”
