When you relax, your mind becomes more absorbent and able to learn. This hypnosis session will teach your brain to be relaxed just when it needs to be, to maximize it's ability to

absorb information, understand and communicate it. It will also give your mind a welcome break, allowing

you to process what you have been studying as well as increase your academic confidence.

PERCEPTION OF FAR EASTERN SECOND YEAR NURSING STUDENTS TO

RELAXATION DESPITE OF THEIR HECTIC SCHEDULE

It shows that 44.28% or 31 respondents answered yes, and 55.71% or 39

respondents answered no. It only means that a lot of 2nd year nursing

students dont have enough time to relax.


Yes 31 44.28 2

No 39 55.71 1

TOTAL 70

Implication:The more students think about how much time they dont have, the more they can feel paralyzed

and get even less accomplished. While it would be great to be granted an extra hour in our day,

the reality is that if we are not focusing on managing our time well, the extra hour would not make

a difference in our stress level. Most graduate students find that they dont have enough time to

do anything else but focus on their academic responsibilities. As a result, graduate students canlose sight of their other life priorities (e.g. family, friends, religion, physical health, and hobbies)

and find their lives very unsatisfactory. The start of the school year is a good time to take inventory

of your priorities and set realistic goals for what you would like to accomplish.

Recommendation

The study can fairly enumerate the relaxation practices of FarEastern University second year nursing students and their co-relation toacademic practices. However, there are still more information needed tocomply with the complete success of the study. Each student has his or herown personality and identity. There are still students who pursue sleepingas an effective relaxation technique based on academic performance. For

establishing further research, it is recommendable to investigate specificallyon the relaxation practices of Far Eastern University second year nursingstudents and their co-relation to academic performance. To reduce stress bystudents often include effective time management, social support, positivereappraisal and engagement in leisure pursuits. The only scientific researchthat specifically related leisure satisfaction to academic stress, whoestablished a negative association between academic stress and leisure

satisfaction. The researchers, considering that they too may be students,may keep their adeptness and put their personal beliefs and feelings aside toconstruct an equitable and consistent study.
