FIGHT STRESS BY:
Eating healthy meals each day
Consuming less caffeine and sugary drinks
Getting enough sleep
Exercising regularly
Voicing what you appreciate
WHAT YOU CAN DO
TO MANAGE STRESS & TIME
Make a list of things causing your stress:
Consider all parts of your life. Figure out which of these
stressors are out of your control or ability to change
them.
Take control of what you can:
For example, if you have no time to study because of
other commitments, figure out how to prioritize what to
do with your time.
Give yourself a break:
Remember to take care of yourself and relax. Know it's
okay to make mistakes, especially if you can learn from
them. Pay attention to your stress level, which changes.
Don't commit to things you
can't or don't want to do:
If you're already too busy, don't promise to help with
another project. If you're tired and don't want to go
out, tell your friends and family.
Find someone to talk to:
Talking to friends or family gives you a chance to
express your feelings. If the situation calls for talking
to someone else, consider seeing a school counselor, a
close adult friend, an agency focused on the problem,
someone from your church, or your family doctor.
