Whether it&#8217;s a big test, our work schedule, or our lack of money, there are a lot of potential stressors out there for young people. While there are probably tons of methods out there that will help you to minimize your stress levels, I believe that there is one very simple solution that is constantly overlooked: Treating &#8216;yo self.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not a fan of the T.V. Show Parks and Recreation, you may not understand this reference, though it is pretty self-explanatory. The basic idea of \u201cTreat &#8216;Yo Self\u201d is that you deserve to reward yourself for events like a job well done, or a stressful experience you\u2019ve just endured. It&#8217;s important to remember though, that when you are treating yourself, the actual reward is not as important as the act of rewarding yourself. Was that a little confusing? Let me try again.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, it doesn&#8217;t really matter if you treat yourself with a bowl of your favorite ice cream flavor, or if you buy yourself a really expensive watch. The actual act of planning something nice for yourself is far more important than the actual, physical reward.<\/p>\n<p>When you plan something nice for yourself, two amazing things happen: you will have something to look forward to and you will become your top priority. Next time you have a major project, or an important goal to achieve, plan to do something nice for yourself. It will go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>|Stay motivated and don&#8217;t give up. Amazing things will happen|<\/p>\n<p>Julia O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As young college students, we are constantly stressed about something.
