The Stress of my Studies...and Juice Plus!

I am currently studying Retail Marketing at the University of Brighton, and I love it. I have honestly had an amazing two years so far and now am in my final year. 

As much as I loved it...I also hated it at times. I would struggle with stress of my work load, not really organising myself efficiently and not getting things done with time to spare. I went from assignment to assignment always worrying about something and never believing in myself that I could do it. Well this year is going to be totally different. 

Juice Plus has already helped me in the last few weeks, and it is only the beginning of term. Being in the final year has a lot of pressure, you have your dissertation to write as well as about 50 million other assignments and commitments that you have to juggle. I currently have all my module assignments, one of which is a PR module where I actually have a live client that I have to be in contact with 24/7, my dissertation to research and start, I am now running my own Juice Plus franchise to help support myself, I am part of the Universities hockey team, I have a flat that needs cleaning and looking after, plus all my friends and family too see. So at the moment I honestly feel all over the place and my brain is a sieve. 

However I made a promise to myself at the beginning of term that I wasn't going to let things get on top of me and I was going to organise myself accordingly and stay positive! 

Well I am in my third week of Uni and already I have had one melt down! It was to do with my dissertation, I felt like I didn't have a clue what I was doing, how to figure it all out and felt like I had no one to turn too. After a good chat with my boyfriend, a meeting with my tutor and some sitting down and concentrating I am actually in a really good place now. I have my dissertation topic and am comfortable about what I have to do. 

Since starting Juice Plus in the summer I have seen incredible results and not just physical ones but mental results too. Whether it is the Juice Plus or the fact I have learnt the importance of Fruit and Vegetables in our diet, who knows but since understanding what stress can do to the body I also now know how to handle it better. So many people have complimented me on the way I am, people think I am confident and out going, trust me I am not! I hate talking to strangers and I hate putting myself in new situations but the more people comment on it and the more I start to believe it, the more I am pushing myself to do new things. It's an incredible feeling not being held back by your own insecurities. 

I have started to change my view on the way I deal with things and now I feel I am able to keep calm in difficult situations and even if I am feeling over whelmed I just remember that getting stressed and panicking does not achieve anything, it will only make your body ill and cause more damage in the long run. Take a look...

If anything, sit down, make a list and work your way through it, and remember there is always someone out there that can help you what ever the problem, you just need to look for it. Also I do not recommend reaching for the chocolate or crisps...comfort food is not the way forward, again this will only make it worst! Reach for a herbal tea and an apple...
