Stress

   Hey guys! So, I know that you all know what stress is and what causes it. I mean, who doesn't get stressed from time to time? But lately, I have been under a good bit of stress myself. With the end of the school year being just around the corner everything is starting to get really busy. My workload has increased, I had to choose classes for next year, there are forms to turn in, sports are coming to an end, auditions for extra curricular activities are happening. To put it simply: There is a lot going on. So what can you do to relieve some stress? Here are some tips:

1. Stay Positive:
    Don't let little things freak you out. If you believe you can do it then you will get it done. Also, don't procrastinate or begin to doubt yourself, this leads to stress.

2. Take Some Time For Yourself:
    If you spend all day everyday running around staying insanely busy it's going to take a toll on you. Take a Saturday to sit around, do your nails, watch Gossip Girl, or do whatever makes you happy!

3. Get a Planner:
    I know that this might sound like a super nerdy thing to do, but a daily/monthly planner can really help you set your schedule and avoid time crunch issues.

4. Learn to Say No:
    We all feel bad telling a friend or family member no, but if you help everyone with everything they ask you are going to overextend yourself! Just make sure you don't cram too many things in your schedule.

Well, I hope this has helped you and maybe you can use this to help control your stress. Just remember not to try to do too much. Sometimes you just need some time to sit down and do absolutely nothing. And that's perfectly okay!

P.S. I apologize for how long it's been since I've posted! Hopefully I will have more time in the near future!
