I've read this topic & i liked, so i put it here for benefit
Note: I removed some sentences from this topic

Hope U enjoy reading
Sometimes everything seems to go wrong at once. Maybe you have got behind with school work, fallen out with a friend, lost something you really liked and you're in trouble at home too. It's like building a line of dominoes then giving one a tap and they all fall down one after the other
As more things happen we get more stressed, which means we get too tired and can't think properly, which means more things go wrong
What happens when you feel stressed?I
When you get worried or stressed out about something it affects your body in a number of ways
I*Your heart beats faster
I*Muscles tense
Your stomach feels tight or you feel sick*
Your breathing gets faster*
You sweat more*
I*It is hard to get to sleep, or you wake up feeling like you didn't really sleep because you still feel tired
It's hard to concentrate on any one thing*
What can you do if you feel stressed?I
Think about what it is that's making you feel bad*
Talk over your problem with a friend or a trusted adult*
Get help to deal with the problem if you need it*
Plan your work if you are getting behind*
Set yourself some goals to work your way through the problem*
Make sure that you are getting enough exercise*
Organise your time so that you can fit everything in*
i*Don't take on too much. You can always do that sport or activity next term or next year. You don't have to do everything at once
Don't say 'yes' when you'd rather say 'no', and then you won't be worrying*
Learn to relax*
Relaxation
There are different things you can do to relax
i*Exercise is great and it can help you sleep if you are doing some as part of your day
i*Exercise which gets you to move about (dancing, running, jumping, walking and bike riding) is very good
but if you are not an active person then here are some ideas for you
Exercise to do if you are a couch potato or a computer freak or a bookworm or
While you are sitting you can still exercise
Look at the diagrams
Isometrics are exercises, which use your muscles against something that doesn't move, eg like trying to pull your hands apart when your fingers are holding on to each other
All these exercises are good if you are feeling a bit stressed or unable to go for a walk or do any other form of exercise at that time
You can even do some of them sitting on the bus or train
Rest and relaxation
If you are getting stressed out or you are having problems sleeping, maybe it's time to change your life a bit by doing something different
Try a new hobby or interest*
Take up a new activity or stop one that you are not enjoying *
(stopping going to school is not an option here!!i)
Set yourself some goals like*
making new friends*
keeping up with school work*
getting your chores done right away*
i*organising your room so that you can 'find' the bed!i
i*talking through things, which are worrying you. (Often you find solutions (how to work things out) while you are talking or you realise that this is not such a big deal
after all
i*Making lists of what you need to do, and ticking off tasks as they are done
learn how to relax by doing relaxation exercises
:bye:*
