HOW TO COPE WITH STRESS DURING ONLINE CLASSES
Speech Content
Good morning everyone. Thank you so much for having me. I am Nurafiqa Hanis and I am going to be speaking to all of you today about how to cope with stress during online classes especially for university students. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a public health emergency that has impacted everyone's life and perceptions. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world have closed all educational institutions to prevent the disease from spreading, affecting students, educators, and institutions directly. Your lessons may now be online. You may have returned home, missing your friends and finding it tough to study. Whether you're a graduate or undergraduate student, you're probably worried, unhappy, and uncertain. These emotions are common. Online learning has lots of benefits when it comes to earning any college degree. However, stress can occasionally raise its ugly head and try to throw you off your game. This is especially true now, in the middle of a global pandemic that has drastically transformed life and society. If you’re one of the millions of college students who has transitioned to all online courses, or you’ve been taking them for a while, you're in the right places because i will share with you these secrets ways help you cope with stress as an online learner.
There are ways to cope with stress during online class. First thing first, you need to practice self-care. Self-care at its most basic level will keep your immune system healthy and your emotional stores full. Make sure you get enough rest. Carving out some time to relax and distress is critical, especially during a challenging time for everyone. To make your online learning experience a little smoother, you can try these relaxing options such as take out a mystery book or open your Kindle and something other than your academic reading and enjoy a food or dessert that you might normally try to avoid to keep the pounds off. During a stressful time, a little comfort food can’t hurt. Moreover, exercise on a regular basis. Never claim that you do not have enough time to exercise. You can still go for a jog or a walk around the block, stretch, and use a variety of indoor fitness equipment during stressful times. Exercise is also beneficial to your mental acuity and can help you with your online coursework. Next, you have to find ways to focus. You may be unmotivated right now. Accept that the current situation is difficult for everyone. Don't pass judgement on yourself. Simply put, do your best. Make an effort to set up a separate work area. If family members are distracting you, use "I statements" to communicate the problem. For example, "I'm worried about my exam next week" and collaborate to find solutions.
Furthermore, talk to your family and friends. Tell them about your worries and concerns about the semester. After a long day in front of the computer, talking freely about the topics that stress you out might be a welcome break. In addition, to work on your online learning courses, find a quiet place. Because you won't be in a regular classroom as an online learner, you'll need to find a comfortable and peaceful spot to concentrate. This might be in your bedroom or balcony, or even a park where you can read an e-book for your criminal justice or social work class while listening to the birds sing. It's easy to become distracted when you're at home with your parents, siblings, or pets. Plus, many online courses require students to participate in interactive sessions using Webex, Zoom, or other web conferencing systems. This may need you to talk or deliver facts verbally or perhaps on video, as well as pay close attention to your instructor and classmates. The key is to make everyone around you aware of the fact that you need a quiet location where you can concentrate and put your undivided attention toward your online learning requirements. Last but not least, connect with your fellow classmates regularly.
Get to know the other students in your classes. More than likely, they are dealing with some type of stress themselves, so it’s a huge help to be able to relate to one another. Additionally, if you're having trouble with some of the assignments in an online class, reach out to a fellow student to see how he or she is dealing with them. Perhaps you can work together while still performing your work individually to help each other out during the lesson. Online learning frequently includes group projects, which are well-suited to this sort of collaboration.
In conclusion, don't let the pressures of online study lead you down. Check in with yourself on a frequent basis to see how you're feeling, both physically and mentally, and then use the stress management tactics that work best for you. I hope my speech for today will help you a lot. Take care and stay safe everyone.
