You’re on the path towards changing your life; congratulations!
While this path offers up vast rewards in the future, the journey getting there may seem a bit rocky.
To help you succeed in IBMC’s fast-paced programs in the School of Business, School of Paralegal Studies, School of Allied Health Careers or the School of Massage and Healing Arts, we have helpful tips to allow you to cope with stress and the anxiety you may be feeling during this first week of class.
1) Let’s get organized! Are you feeling overwhelmed? Make sure to purchase a calendar, day timer or even use an electronic calendar to help you stay on-top of your classes, plan for study time, events, your work schedule and even some fun!
2) An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Hold it! Put down the bag of chips and grab an apple. Developing healthy eating habits with help you stay calm, manage your weight, and with a balanced diet and plenty or rest and relaxation, you’ll be waking up before your alarm even goes off.
3) Get moving! Exercise will help clear your mind and re-charge your batteries – whether your next task is studying for a test, reading over lecture notes or diving into a lesson.
4) Set realistic goals for yourself! Don’t take on too many responsibilities at once. Make a check list and reward yourself for accomplishing small feats. If there are areas you happen to fall short, do not be too hard on yourself. Re-evaluate your goals and amend if necessary.

We’ll listen and provide you with insight on managing stress, course difficulties, assist with financial questions and help you stay on track.
