Keep stress under control

What can you do to deal with stress overload or to avoid it? The most helpful method of dealing with stress is learning how to manage the stress that comes along with any new challenge, good or bad. Stress-management skills work best when they're used regularly, not just when the pressure's on. Knowing how to "de-stress" and doing it when things are relatively calm can help you get through challenging circumstances. Here are some things that can help keep stress under control:

• Take a stand against overscheduling. If you don't have enough time, consider cutting out an activity or two, choosing the ones that are most important to you.

• Be realistic. Don't try to be perfect – no one is. And expecting others to be perfect can add to your stress level, too (not to mention putting a lot of pressure on them!). If you need help on something, like schoolwork, ask for it.

• Get a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep helps keep your body and mind in good shape. That will help you to deal with any negative stress. If you stay up late and still need to get up early for school, you may not get all the hours of sleep you need.

• Learn to relax. The body's natural remedy to stress is called the relaxation response. It creates a sense of well-being and calm. You can learn simple breathing exercises and then use them when you're caught up in stressful situations. Stay relaxed by doing activities that are calming and pleasurable: reading a good book or making time for a hobby, spending time with your pet, or just taking a relaxing bath.

• Treat your body well. Experts agree that getting regular exercise helps people manage stress. And eat well to help your body function at its best. Under stressful conditions, the body needs its vitamins and minerals more than ever.

• Watch what you're thinking. Your outlook and thoughts influence the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? A healthy dose of optimism can help you make the best of stressful circumstances.

• Solve the little problems. Learning to solve everyday problems can give you a sense of control. Develop skills to look at a problem calmly and take action toward a solution. Feeling capable of solving little problems builds the inner confidence and serves you well in times of stress.

d. Listen to the text and say which solution has not been mentioned.

resilience – someone's ability to become healthy, happy, or strong again after an illness or a problem
