nervous for university students.

The students are considered as the future of generations. But they are badly affected by
mental stress due to either by their poor academic grades or having a fear of stress. Mental stress
can lead to anxiety and depression and influences their physical and mental health. They cannot
concentrate on their academic carriers and results in getting poor grades. The students cannot
bear the mental pressure and suffers from various diseases such as High blood pressure and
anxiety disorders (Mediavilla and Garcia, 2019). It is necessary to live stress free in order to live
a happy life. It can also decline their health too and their mental state. It gives a bad impact on
the student's life and the fear of change creates anxiety in them. there is been observed that the
most considered issue which make the students to feel the anxiety ion the pressure which is given
to them. it implies that this generally creates the mental health of the person sand in case where
the stresses not managed that affect the health and the personal wellbeing of the person. The
depression is majorly the utmost risk . So there can be seen that it is important that the students
should be effectively counselled and guided for managing the work and the mood in the
situations so that they somehow avoid all such stress that can considered to be the loss of their
certainty and mental peace.
Discuss the effective means of managing stress, feeling anxious, or nervous for university
students.
Every person is facing stress in his life due to various reasons. It is very important to
overcome this issue as it may lead to various major diseases. In case of students, it is very
challenging as they are easily drive to the stress essential which may create stress. Stress is the
major factor that changes various patterns such as schedule of diet, working pattern and sleeping
pattern. Students have the fear of failure, academic scores, homework, punishment. There are
many ways in which the student can overcome with the stress
 The student should have made their sleeping routine fine as sound sleep helps in the
recovery of the brain cells which reduces the anxiety among them (Arabi and Zaidi,
2020).
 The students should organise their work in a systematic manner so that do not have the
fear of not meeting the deadlines.
 The students should be devoting towards their work and complete their duties within the
given time (Peters, 2017).

 They can also create a new hobby by which they can spend their leisure time in pursuing
that, such as they can engage in any activity like playing cricket, swimming or dancing. It
will keep their physical and mental health sound.
 The students should move their thoughts and thinking towards optimistic which will help
in keeping them stress free.
The students should manage the growth by complying and maintaining the positive attitude. This
provides that all the students should ion order to frame the mental peace lead to create the
positive though and culture and they should managerially comply with the coming nature
and the diverse though and actions (García and Martín-Lucas, 2020).
 New skills should be developing by the students as that will; help them in communicating
and also manage them to attain the task and the regulatory behaviour with which the
learning can be applied in positive manner.
