We experience stress throughout our lives. Situations that can create stress are unavoidable. What we can control is how we deal with them. Use these steps to help manage your stress more effectively:

1. There may be some situations, people or events that make you feel nervous, anxious or fearful. 

2. Increasing physical activity and eating healthily can do wonders for your ability to manage stress. Regular physical activity and a healthy diet can improve weight, energy levels, self-confidence, overall health and well-being, making it much easier for you to do with daily stress. 

Laugh it off. Do you know that laughter is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress? No matter how bad things are, laughing dissolves(消除) the worries and seems to help brighten the situation. 3. A bad mood only adds to your level of stress. Another plus-laughter seems to help improve the immune system(免疫系统), in turn making you less prone(有……倾向的) to develop a cold and other illnesses. 

Recognize that drugs and wine are not effective methods to solve problems. 4. You can search for the advice of a mental health doctor or the community health service for stress management. 

Don’t be afraid to say “no” when someone asks you to do something. Know yourself well. 5.

My mother only has one eye. I hate her. I am always angry about it. She cooks dinner for students and teachers. One day at school, my mother sees me and says hello to me. I was so unhappy! How can she do this? I turn back and run away. The next day at school one of my classmates says,“EEEE, your mother only has one eye!”

I don't know what to say. I wish my mother to just get away. I say to her at home, “If you’re only going to make others laugh at(嘲笑)me, why don’t you just die ?” She doesn't say a word.

Many years later, I have my family in another city. Then one day, my mother comes to visit me. When she stands at the door, my children laugh at her. I shout, “GET AWAY! NOW!” “Oh, I’m so sorry. I have the wrong address (地址).”

“My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I should not go to your house and.... You see, when you are very young, you lose (失去) your eye in a car accident. As a mother, I give you mine. I am glad you can see a whole world for me with that eye.

With all my love to you.

Your mother.”
