1. Be active. Exercise lifts your spirits and helps you feel more relaxed.
2. Eat Right. A healthy, well-nourished body is a better stress-fighter.
3. Avoid caffeine. It can make you feel edgy and tense.
4. Get enough sleep. It's hard to deal with stress when you're tired and run-down.
5. Express your feelings. Talk about them. Write about them. Stuffing or ignoring your feelings can add to your stress.
6. Laugh it up. Laughter reduces stress.
7. Know how to relax. Learn and practice relaxation techniques-deep breathing, meditation, tensing and releasing your muscles-and other ways to calm down when stress strikes.
8. Get organised. Have a place for everything and keep everything in its place. Then you won't get stressed-out trying to remember where you left your books, your keys, or something else you need right now.
9. Simplify. Are you cramming too much into your days, nights, and weekends? Prioritise your activites. Start saying no. Make time for yourself-for things you like to do. Including, sometimes, doing nothing at all.
10. Build strong relationships. Family members and friends can be your support network when things get too stressful.
11. Be a planner. Get a calander and write down your projects, test dates, and other important stuff. Make a homework and study schedule you can follow. Planning will help you feel more in control of your life.
12. Talk about your problems. Find someone you trust and can talk to. Share your problems. Ask for help when you need it.
13. Don't sweat the small stuff. Figure out what really matters and let other things go.
14. Get a new attitude. Try seeing your problems and pressures from another perspective. Learn to accept the things you can't change.
15. Forgive your own mistakes. Are you hard on yourself whenever you mess up? Tell yourself that mistakes are learning experiences. At least you know what not to do next time.
16. Be yourself. Trying to be something or someone you're not can be stressful.
17. Be happy with what you have. Instead of thinking about everything you want, think about you already have. Maybe it's enough.
