So what ARE the effects of stress anyway?
Is there anything you can do about stress?
Of course you can! The good news is you can learn to take control of your stress.
Here are somethings you can try!
♥ Figure out what exactly is stressing you out.
♥ Try to find a way to reduce your stress.
♥ Learn HEALTHY ways to combat stress!
What can you do to avoid stress?
Stress is what you feel when you bite off more than you can chew. Stress makes hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy.
Some stress is totally normal and sometimes even good. Stress can help you meet a deadline or study hard for an exam!
But if you experience stress regularly, your body could start reacting negatively. It can cause horrible headaches, stomach cramps, back aches, and it can be harder to get a good night's sleep. It can make one's immune system weak and make it harder for one to fight off illness.
Stress is a daily thing for some people and even if you can't get rid of it completely, you can do things to lower your stress levels.
Some more tips!
♥ Take care of your body! Sleep often and eat well. Smoking and excessive drinking increases stress!
♥ Sometimes stress happens when you do more than you can handle. Learning to say "no" to people will help get over that.
♥ Don't be afraid to ask for help! People who care about you will help you and wouldn't want you to be stressed all the time. Sometimes you need outside help, and that's fine. Talk to a parent or trusted adult, having stress is nothing to be ashamed of!
