I'm feeling STRESSED OUT

RECALIBRATE GOAL:

Turn up your capacity to take it slower, easier, and to work within your means—choose to simplify.

Yeah, stress is no stranger to the Berkeley campus. Pressure to perform, a hard time meeting your basic needs like food and housing, or that feeling of just having too much on your plate can be overwhelming. Sometimes you just need to stop and recharge, or you need a real person to listen and help you make sense of it all. If nothing seems to be working, try out some of the things on the “I'm feeling JOYFUL” page and see if that helps chill things out for the better.

relax. relieve. recalibrate.
