Plan
Tackling the Problem
Identify and then address the problem. Avoid stress when possible. Let some things go.
Point 1: Identify and then Address
the Problem Do not ignore a problem, this could make it worse.
Turn off thoughts that make you think it is a disaster.
Clear your mind, so the problem can only be handled with clear thinking.
Point 2: Avoid Stress When Possible
Avoid trouble from a distance. Do not be around:
Things that upset you.People who may be a bad influence on you.The places where you are likely to get in
trouble.
Point 3: Let Some Things Go Realize that you cannot change every
problem. Know when not to take things personally.
“People who waste their energy worrying about things they can’t change don’t have
enough energy left over to fix the things they can.”
Taking Care of My Body
The Power of Exercise. Active Relaxation. Eat Well. Sleep Well.
Point 4: The Power of Exercise Most important part of the management
plan. Listen to what your body tells you to do:
If it says “run”, then go for a run. Helps build a strong, healthy body. Important way to control stress.
Point 5: Active Relaxation
Breathe deeply and slowly. Put your body in a relaxed position. Breathe deep to clear your mind in a
situation involving anger. If you are stressed about a test, sit
down, take deep breaths, and tell your body there is no emergency.
Point 6: Eat Well
Keeps you alert throughout the day. Keeps your mood steady. Junk foods produce highs and lows in
energy levels, which harms the ability to reduce stress.
Point 7: Sleep Well
Go to sleep about the same time every night.
Exercise 4 to 6 hours before bedtime. Use your bed only to sleep. Avoid:
Watching TV in bedDoing homework in bed

community. Read a good book.
