Find Ways to Deal with Stress

Everyone has stress - from problems at home, on the job, and in their personal lives. Too much stress feels awful and can make you sick. You may not be able to get rid of all stress, but there are ways to handle it.

• Talk about your problems with someone who cares about you.
• Take a walk outside.
• Find some time to relax each day (stretch, listen to music, dance).
• Try to look on the bright side. Think about the good things in your life.

The other things you can do to stay healthy - like eating well and getting exercise - will also help you deal with stress.
