Imagine you have a big game (or event) after school, then you had to study for a test, write a poem, that’s due in English and go to another practice that night.  Or maybe you wanted to wear an outfit for school tomorrow but, it wasn’t clean and you were late to school because you had to wash it.  Stress is a natural part of life,  but you are in charge of your reaction to the stressors in your life.

When I was in a similar situation I thought that the work would never be done but then I remember some ways to cope with stress which helped me overcome that challenge.

Just like the problem I had lots of work to do along with other things but I did not want to stress much so I

- organized my work by due dates so the ones close to the due date were out of the way

-I took 10 min breaks in between so I wouldn't burn out  when it was time to do other things

- Eating well was important so I had a healthy snack to eat while on break

I handled stress in a positive way which helped me do my work faster and it was out of the way earlier than I thought. If I did it another way I would have never finished in time and I would never be out of the endless cycle of stress so taking breaks, organiztion, and eating well makes doing all of that work so much better.
