Introduction:

Stress. It's unavoidable, especially in the life of a college sophomore. Hello and welcome to my term project. My name is Kelsey and I'm on a mission to DE-STRESS my life. I am a physical therapy major at Loyola Marymount University and was recently assigned a project in which creativity was the only requirement. The purpose of this blog is for me to relieve a little stress in my life through running, and to learn about the physiological mechanisms involved in these processes along the way.

Do what you love.

Hello readers,

I'm currently posted in my dorm room, enjoying my early spring break! Yet it's raining outside, (sunny California my ass), providing me with ample opportunity to fill you in. So here goes.

Last week I slacked on the running, yet I made up for it by playing basketball almost every day. Basketball is something that without a doubt always clears my head. It's my absolute favorite sport and I'll always associate it with good memories because it makes me so happy.

My advice to you is to find something you love, more then anything, whether it be a physical exercise, a creative hobby, or any other passion. Figure out what it is. If you can do that, you'll be golden. I know I talk a lot about sports and running, yet any healthy way you can relieve stress is a good way. We all feel pressure at times and to me, basketball is my escape. It's my way of venting my emotions and simply getting away from it all. Figure out what it is that you love, and do it. Don't settle for anything less then what makes you happy, because it's your responsibility to make it happen.


We work so hard sometimes that we forgot about what's important: our happiness.
