44 Stress Stress

No one is free from PROBLEMS

Take time to think and analyze the problem through.

Come out with a strategy or plan, and then ensure that we ourselves

implement or execute the plan.

Don’t rush, hurry and worry

Faced with many tasks at hand, learn to do or take one

thing at a time

Too many people get stressed up because they try to do too many things at one

time.

Take One Thing At A Time

No two individuals are the same and they do not have the same

capabilities, talent and potential.

Targeting goals which are beyond us will set undue stress upon

ourselves.

Having set realistic goals, we just need to do our best. It is not the

end of things.

We can always try again

Don’t Set

Unrealistic

Goals

Good to talk things over with our parents,

teachers, friends and counselors

Sometimes we need to open up or get the load

off our chests

Learn to let go negative thoughts and feelings that weigh us down

Our mind will then become clear and our

heart, light

Don’t Bottle Up Feelings

Practice yoga, learn to watch your breath, take deep breaths and

exhale slowly.

Listening to your fav. music

Read

Play

Go for a holiday

Pursue that hobby you have always wanted

Practice Relaxation Techniques

Have Recreational Activities/Hobbies

If we develop a sense of humor, we can learn not to take things too seriously.

Enjoy yourself reading a good humor book , watching a comedy movie or video and cracking

jokes with your friends.

Laughter is the best Medicine for many an ‘illness’

Have a sense of humor

Good luck

Live your life
