Tackling College Stress: Dale Troy’s Tips for a Healthier Student Life

I really want them to realize that they have power, that there are lots of habits and tools that they can use that will reduce their stress
College can be a whirlwind of assignments, social activities, and looming deadlines, leaving many students feeling overwhelmed. In this episode of the Mental Insights podcast, host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Dale Troy, the creator of the Crush College Stress program. Dale is on a mission to help young adults navigate the pressures of college life with practical strategies that promote a healthier and more positive lifestyle.
Dale shares her wisdom on how simple habits can make a big difference in managing stress. One of her go-to techniques is deep breathing. By focusing on slow, abdominal breaths, students can calm their bodies and minds, making it easier to tackle the day ahead. She suggests incorporating deep breathing exercises both at night and in the morning to set a peaceful tone for the day. Diet also plays a crucial role in how we handle stress.
Dale emphasizes the importance of fueling your body with nutritious foods. She advises students to fill their plates with colorful fruits and vegetables, which are packed with essential nutrients. Keeping healthy snacks like nuts and seeds handy can also help maintain energy levels throughout those long study sessions. Balancing healthy habits with a busy college schedule might seem daunting, but Dale offers practical advice. She recommends starting with a few manageable habits that fit seamlessly into your routine.
Whether it's finding a quiet spot to relax or spending time with therapy dogs, creating positive environments can significantly impact your well-being. Dale also highlights the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal to shift focus towards the positive aspects of life. This episode is packed with actionable tips and encouragement for college students looking to reduce stress and lead a healthier life.
Dale Troy’s insights from her Crush College Stress program provide a roadmap for students aiming to thrive amidst the chaos of college life.
