How to Deal with Stress

All teenagers have had that feeling.  You know, what I mean? When you have an overwhelming amount of problems and you just don't know what to do? This school year has been very stressful for me so far.  As of last Thursday, my amount of stress has gone down.  I shall elaborate in my next post.  But I digress.  This post is a few ways that I personally deal with my stress.

Tip#1: Take long walks.  Whenever I feel as if I have too much on my plate, I walk. A lot.  Walking helps clear my mind even if it is for a short time.  You don't have to walk for long.  It can be a short walk.  

Tip#2: Eat peanut butter from a jar with a spoon.  I often get reprimanded by my mom for doing this but it's a great stress reliever.  But don't eat too much though. It's not good for you.  

Tip#3: Eat something that you really enjoy eating.  For me that would be microwaved honey buns.

Tip#4: Listen to stress relieving music.  I know I'm going to lose street cred for saying this but the song Shake it off by Taylor Swift does it for me.  I don't even like Taylor Swift. Sigh

Tip#4: Find the source of your stress and address it.  If it's your homework, do it.  If it's your friends, tell them they're stressing you out.    

Tip#10:  According to Estefany who is currently sitting next to me, you should get yourself a bae. (Bae is a Danish word for poop by the way if anyone was wondering what it was.)

Tip#6: According to Becca who is sitting a table away for me, you should breathe and think of yourself and look at yourself in the mirror. 

Tip#7: Go to the www.fmylife.com  and look at stories of people whose lives are worst than yours.

Tip#8: One word. Netflix

Tip#8: Write or read poetry

Tip#8:  I was feeling stressed at school earlier this month so I hit up my friend Canadian but really Moroccan Abir who is funny and mad cool (inside joke) and this is what she told me "Keep your eyes on the goal...see I used to do that when I was stressed...Be so overwhelmed that I end up doing nothing but you have to remember why you worked so hard before and let that make you work harder. Even if you don't see results now it will all be worth it." She's only 16 and she has such wise things to say. I was never this wise at 16.

Tip#8: Go on YouTube and look up videos relating to stress

P.S The numbers on this list are a little messed up. Math was never my best subject.
