Jonathan, What a wonderful approach! It sounds like you faced your stress head on by being proactive and getting to know more of your student population. Sometimes we have to attack stress directly.

I was experiencing stress walking into classes that I wasn't familiar with. I successfully eliminated that stressor by actively greeting more students that I did not recognize in the hallways. I would offer an action plan to other stressed out instructors to make a goal of introducing themselves to one new student, regardless if he or she is in their class, at least once a day.
