How to Live a Stress Free Lifestyle

Sleep. If you don't get enough sleep you end up being touchy and snappy. In order to establish a good rule of thumb for sleep is to go to bed whenever you're tired, and wake up at the same time each day (weekend or not!). This way, you will get the right amount of sleep! (As 8 hours is not for everyone)


2
Take care of your body. If you eat right and exercise daily, you won't have to worry about your image, or how many calories are in the burger. You don't have to go cold turkey on fast food, but it shouldn't be your main source of food!



3
Pay attention in class. You don't go to school to talk to your friends! Instead of wasting an hour at home on learning materials, just learn them in class where there is a teacher to help you! This way you won't feel like you have wasted all day in school.



4
Friends. You should have at least one friend that goes to your school. If possible, you should create a close knit group of friends, so you don't have to worry about several different bodies. Instead, you can focus on the circle as a whole. While having a big group of friends can come with responsibilities on your behalf, it's still very beneficial to you. Not only to you get to see what people think of you through a constructive perspective, but you also have a shoulder to cry on during hard times.


5
Girlfriend/Boyfriend. If your girlfriend/boyfriend treats you like crap, ditch them. They're not worth your time or your tears. Just because they look good doesn't mean they are good.



6
Let it out. If your sister is bothering you, tell her. You don't have to say "Beth, you are such a mean so and so! Shut up!" Be sincere, because Beth will probably respond better to that. And, if they continue to do whatever bothers you, and if it's really getting on your nerves, just go to whoever is in charge and politely ask them if they would tell Beth to stop.



7
Relax. Sometimes you just need a break. If things aren't going as you planned them, re-plan them. Go to a movie, or just sit on your bed and read. You don't always have to be moving, so put away some time to stop!



8
Learn To Love (Or Just Ignore Them). If someone in school drives you crazy, try to avoid them. And if that isn't possible, tell them how you feel about them in a calm, polite voice, and ask them if they would please stop talking to you. Though this might invite some hostility at first, if you ignore them they will settle down eventually.



9
Exercise. For most people, exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Exercising gives most people a natural high, or happy feeling. Also, you can always pretend that the punching bag is the thing you hate most!


10
Accept yourself. If you can't accept the way you are, change it. Because if you are too worried about that extra fat, or your extremely long hair, your other worries will just start building up again. And if you can't change it, you will have to accept it, because that's who you are. And you really can't change it.



11
Don't take things personally. Most of the time, people say things as a joke, and you have to learn to recognize that. And if they really mean it, remember that they probably aren't even worth your time. (and if it's someone you are close to who is just mad at you, they probably don't mean it either)


12
Don't wait until the last opportunity. You will feel more relaxed if you don't have any problem or task in the back of your mind.
