Overseas students have tips to relieve stress

Recently, an article "Doctor, are you okay? "The public account article explains the pressure when studying for a doctorate, which resonates with many students. It is true that no matter what level of degree you pursue, there will be pressure. The time and economic costs of studying overseas, as well as the differences between Chinese and foreign environments, etc., can easily make overseas students fall into a state of anxiety.

Analyze the reasons and find the crux

Liu Liu (pseudonym), who is studying nursing in Japan, has been very distressed recently. In a certain certificate exam, she failed the English exam three times in a row. This not only made her enthusiasm for learning English almost disappear, but also shaken her confidence in choosing to study abroad when she was older. "Translating three professional papers in a short period of time is particularly difficult for me, who picked up English halfway. This frustration made me completely lose confidence in taking this exam. And I have also "hated" English for a long time." Liu Liu was still depressed when talking about the setbacks in the exam.

For overseas students, the pressure of life is another "big mountain" that weighs on students besides the pressure of study. "Many of my classmates come to Spain to study at their own expense. Faced with the high prices abroad, they will choose to work and study at the same time. This kind of arrangement of studying and working at the same time is very likely to result in no money being earned and no good study." Mao Yanxin, who is currently studying at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain, said with a sigh.

The time and space distance caused by studying abroad made Sheng Xin, who studied at Imperial College in the UK, very emotional: "In the past few years, I have been abroad and I can feel the increase in age and changes in physical conditions of my parents every time I return home. I am getting older, but my parents are getting older, which makes me feel panicked."

Calm positioning Communicate in a timely manner

In fact, there are many ways to relieve stress. In addition to joining a club, finding someone to talk to, playing games, sleeping with your head covered, or having a hearty dinner party, it is also very effective to accurately position yourself and formulate future plans.

> Mao Yanxin is currently in the fourth year of his Ph.D. study, and this year may be his last year of Ph.D. Before he could start his career plan, his graduation thesis lay before him. "The writing and defense of graduation thesis is a big problem. In a foreign language environment, sorting out ideas and writing materials is a challenge. The difficulty of completing many thesis topics is likely to exceed the research level that can be achieved in three to four years. Therefore, many PhDs delay graduation and are extremely stressed." Regarding doctoral thesis topic selection, Mao Yanxin believes that when making a decision, you must evaluate your own level and not be too ambitious. "You must listen to your inner voice. Meditation, sorting, and analysis will keep your mind clear and conducive to the smooth progress of your studies."

The ancients said: "If your parents are around, if you don't travel far away, you will travel well." Frequent communication and caring for parents are how Sheng Xin treats his parents. He also looks forward to seeing his family a few times a year. "Getting older is irreversible, seizing the moment is the key. I will tell my parents some fitness methods I learned abroad to let them exercise more scientifically."

Song Ping, who studies at Rice University in Texas, USA, likes to immerse herself in the atmosphere of laboratory experiments to relieve the stress of study. "Many problems are caused by thinking too much and doing too little, which leads to distress and confusion. Keeping yourself busy and enriching your life is a good way to relieve stress." Faced with the pressure of life and study, Song Ping likes to relieve stress by watching variety shows on domestic TV stations. "Most of the confusion is actually due to homesickness. In addition to video chatting with parents, watching domestic TV programs and watching some domestic fashions can also give yourself a sense of happiness as if you were in China."

There are ups and downs sometimes. Learn to be calm.

Dissatisfaction in life is inevitable, and overseas students must learn to face it calmly. Song Ping compared some "chicken soup for the soul" to "injecting chicken blood". A sudden dose is effective, but the effect is short-lived. Sometimes, you can take a strong dose of medicine, which is very effective in regulating your emotions and living and studying actively. In addition, Song Ping suggested that students should have their own opinions on doing things and not be overly concerned about other people's impressions of them. "Having a strong heart is very necessary for both overseas students and domestic students."

When Mao Yanxin joked about his way of decompressing, he used the word "comparison". "Have a chat with a group of doctors and talk about your own misfortunes, so that you can not only know how your troubles appear in the eyes of others, but also understand that others have actually encountered similar situations. At the end of the "misery comparison" meeting, everyone cheers each other up. The atmosphere and effect are still very good."

Facing the wave of returning to China, Sheng Xin knows that returning to China for employment will definitely be stressful. "The domestic development in all aspects is getting better and faster, attracting more and more overseas students to return to China for development. Therefore, the pressure of competition with peers will definitely become greater and greater." However, Sheng Xin also confidently said that he will face the difficulties, study harder, and constantly improve himself with knowledge and hard work. (Zhang Yanan)
