September is Mental Health Month! Professor Terry Dibble has a stress management tip to share.
"I have learned that stress is not bad for us, but how we perceive it can be. Is it a challenge or a threat? Those individuals that see it as a threat will struggle, while individuals that see it as a challenge will strive.
What can we do to help manage the stress? I was reminded of one such intervention at the New Student Welcome last week: laughter! Laughter is a great way to reduce stress. Whether you put a clown nose on, tell jokes or just laugh, find whatever makes you laugh and add more of it to your daily routine."
