Students of all ages are affected, becoming overburdened, anxious, and worn out. Although aiming for academic success is vital, too much stress can negatively impact relationships, mental and physical health, and general well-being. The good news? With the right approaches and perspectives, academic stress can be eased.<\/p><\/div><\/div><p>Academic stress is the emotional, mental, and physical pressure that students experience when they believe that their capacity to achieve their academic goals is not aligned with those goals. Exams and deadlines aren&#8217;t the only causes; peer comparisons, failure-related anxiety, and parental or teachers&#8217; pressure are other contributing factors.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

Positive psychology research&nbsp;emphasises how effective it is to reframe stress as a challenge rather than a hazard.
