Jacqueline Lopez, a PhD Graduate Researcher at the University of Nevada, Reno, discusses the impact of stress on mental health and work performance. She emphasizes the importance of time management, setting realistic goals, and creating boundaries between work and personal life to manage stress. Jacqueline highlights the role of mindfulness practices, social support, and self-care in reducing stress. She also addresses the negative effects of unmanaged stress, such as burnout and physical health issues. Jacqueline recommends resources like Headspace, Calm, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness for stress management. The conversation underscores the need for transparency with supervisors and seeking professional help when stress becomes overwhelming.
Stress is the body’s natural response to pressure or challenges. It can be short-term, helping individuals stay motivated and productive so that they’re still doing that work, or it can be chronic, where it leads to exhaustion and burnout.
