Stress Reduction Techniques

I have been using these three stress reduction techniques, and I can see a big change in my life. With these methods, I am able to control stress easily. Whenever I feel stressed about exams or overloaded with work, these techniques help me release the pressure and feel better.

1. Meditation
Meditation is one of the most powerful tools for managing stress. It improves mental health, focus, and concentration. When we practice meditation regularly, especially in the early morning, we gain a sense of calm and positivity. Meditation also reduces anxiety and emotional reactions, helping us recover from stress. Even a few minutes every day for two to three weeks can make a big difference. It also improves sleep and supports overall health.


2. Adequate Sleep
The second step to reduce stress is getting enough sleep, at least seven to eight hours a day. Proper sleep plays a key role in managing stress and maintaining good health. When we sleep well, we are emotionally stronger and can handle challenges better. Sleep not only supports mental well-being but also keeps the body healthy. Good, quality sleep every night reduces stress and helps us face daily life with more energy and peace of mind.

3. Listening to Music
The third technique is my favorite and the easiest. It is listening to music. Music is a simple and enjoyable way to relax. It reduces stress without any effort. But it is important to choose soothing and calming music, not loud or heavy tunes that increase stress. Soft music relaxes the mind and body, lowers anxiety, and encourages mindfulness by shifting our focus away from worries. After listening for even an hour, we feel light, happy, and refreshed.

Blooming Beginnings

Image
One fine morning at MCC, I paused near a bush of flowers. My friend took a picture of me standing there, but for me it was never about the photo. It was about the quiet moment of admiration. The flowers stood in their natural beauty, needing nothing more, and just looking at them gave me a calm feeling. That pause reminded me how even a small act of noticing can bring peace to the heart. Later, in the evening, the same sense of admiration returned to me in my own garden. I usually water the plants each day, but that evening I wanted to do something more. I went out and brought home a few new flowers like bougainvillea, marigold, roses and some others. These are common in Tamil Nadu, yet each carries its own charm. Planting them did not feel like work. Instead, it gave me galdness. I admired the small patch of color in my garden, and it felt like the same peace I had experienced that morning near the bush at MCC. Both moments, though different, carried the same lesson. Admira...

A World Inside a Flask

Image
One fine day in my General Elective Botany class, I held something in my hand that changed the way I look at plants. It was not a pot, not a seed, not even soil. It was a simple glass flask covered with foil, and inside it, tiny green plants were growing. The flask looked ordinary, but what it carried was extraordinary.  This method, as my professor explained, is called plant tissue culture. From just a small piece of a plant, new plants can grow in a sterile glass container filled with nutrients. Holding it in my hands felt like holding a secret garden. Before this class, I always believed plants could grow only in soil. But the tissue culture flask taught me something different: plants can grow even without soil, as long as they are given the right environment. A nutrient medium inside the glass, combined with careful conditions, helps the plants thrive. It amazed me that science has found ways to multiply plants like this. It is useful not only for agriculture, but a...

Exploring My College Library

Image
I visit the library almost every day after the classes, but for my CA2 assignment, I decided to make a vlog about it. After my classes, I spent around two to three hours taking this vlog, capturing the different sections of our library and the way students use them. Through this, I wanted to show how important the library is in our daily college life. The first thing that greets us is the register at the entrance. Every student must write their name, department, and entry and exit times, finishing with a signature. It’s a simple rule, but it creates discipline and reminds us that the library is a shared space for learning. On the ground floor, there are two reading halls. Reading Hall One is where students quietly read, and along its walls, several boards display daily newspapers like The Hindu, Times of India, and Dina Thanthi. Just beside it, Reading Hall Two offers shelves of books from almost every subject like history, chemistry, zoology, botany, literature etc.. Then,...
