Stress Management
Heading of doc
U/C, BOLD, Size 14
Stress management means finding ways to deal with the pressure and worries in life.
Everyone feels stressed sometimes, but it's important to know how to handle it. One way to
manage stress is by taking breaks and doing activities you enjoy. This could be anything from
reading a book to going for a walk. Finding time for relaxation helps to calm the mind and
reduce stress.
Another way to manage stress is by staying organized. Keeping track of tasks and making to-
do lists can help you feel more in control. Breaking big tasks into smaller steps can make them
feel less overwhelming. When you have a plan, it's easier to tackle challenges and feel less
stressed about them.
Talking to someone you trust can also be helpful in managing stress. Sharing your feelings
with a friend, family member, or counselor can provide support and perspective. They might
offer advice or simply listen, which can make you feel better. Knowing that you're not alone
can ease stress and help you cope with difficult situations.
Lastly, taking care of your body is important for stress management. Eating healthily, getting
enough sleep, and exercising regularly can all help reduce stress. Physical activity releases
endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that improve mood and reduce stress. By looking
after yourself physically, you can better handle the challenges that come your way.
Apply the track changes as indicated on the next page and Save As: STRESS2.
